Fulham manager Martin Jol has revealed his club are in talks with Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer over a new contract.
Schwarzer has been in fine form for the Barclays Premier League side this season and Jol is keen to extend the 40-year-old's stay at Craven Cottage.
Fulham captain Brede Hangeland last week became the latest veteran after Damien Duff and Philippe Senderos to sign a new contract with the Cottagers and Jol confirmed Schwarzer had been offered a new deal.
"We have made him an offer so we are waiting. If he accepts he will stay, if not we will talk again like we did with Brede."
Although Schwarzer continues to play like a much younger man, Jol concedes he needs to look at another goalkeeper as David Stockdale and Neil Etheridge are not content to remain as back-up to the former Middlesbrough star next season.
"There is a lot of speculation in the press. I have a young goalkeeper in Neil Etheridge, he is out on loan and so is David Stockdale.
"He doesn't want to be number two so that could be a little problem, so of course we are always looking for a goalkeeper."
