Fulham midfielders Joao Palhinha and Harrison Reed agree new contracts to extend their stay with the West London club.

Midfielders Joao Palhinha and Harrison Reed have signed new Fulham contracts.

Palhinha was on the verge of joining Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day after undergoing a medical with the German champions.

However, the Cottagers were unable to find a replacement in time, resulting in the proposed transfer falling through.

Following the transfer saga, the Portugal international has signed a new contract with the Cottagers until the summer of 2028 with an option for the club to extend by a further year.

"I feel happy." Palhinha told FFCtv. "A lot of history happened these few weeks for me, you heard a lot of things about my future, but I'm just focused on my work at Fulham."

"I always have 100% commitment with this club, I have all the respect for the club, for the fans. Since the first day, they supported me a lot, and me and my family felt this since the first moment that I arrived here.

"I will give everything that I have. It was always like that, on the field, outside of the field, in our dressing room with my teammates.

"I have a lot of respect for everyone here in Fulham and I am ready to start again, to give all my best, and I want to achieve good things."

The 28-year-old has made 43 competitive appearances since joining Fulham from Sporting Lisbon for a reported £20m fee.

In addition to Palhinha, Fulham have also agreed a new deal with Reed, who has penned a new contract until June 2027 with an option for the Cottagers to extend by a further 12 months.

"I'm buzzing to get it over the line," Reed said. "It's something we've been working on for a short period, but I'm really happy to put pen to paper.

"I made it clear from the first day that, for me, my future was here, and if the club matched that then let's get something done. Thankfully, the club's ambition aligned with mine, so I'm really happy and looking forward to the future."

Reed initially joined Fulham on loan in the summer of 2019, before making his move permanent ahead of the following season.

During his five-year stay at the club, the midfielder has featured in 150 games across all competitions, chipping in with three goals and 11 assists.
