“The future is not something we step into; it’s something we shape.“ Fulham’s Antonee Robinson seems to be doing just that.

Romano reflects a complex negotiation scenario where the player’s age and Fulham’s desire to retain him are significant obstacles. “Their preference at the moment is still for younger players.
