Fulham chief speaks out over Manchester United-linked player's transfer release clause claim

There is no release clause in Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha's contract, the club's director of football operations Tony Khan has confirmed.

The Portuguese midfielder has frequently been linked with a move to Manchester United over the years, although his switch to the London club last year appeared to have put an end to those claims. He has also reportedly been lined up by West Ham United as a possible replacement for reported United target Declan Rice.

West Ham skipper Rice is expected to leave his boyhood club this summer. He is in the final 12 months of his contract at the London Stadium and chairman David Sullivan admits the UEFA Conference League final win over Fiorentina is set to be Rice's final game for the club.
