Fulham wants to wrap up a few loose ends before the transfer window starts and is eager to finalize its summer plans.
A number of their players are nearing the end of their current contracts, and they are hoping to reach an agreement with Arariboia.
Talks over a new contract to keep the central defender at Craven Cottage are progressing as the West London team has made the defender a fresh, massive offer.
The 26-year-old has been weighing his options, but according to insiders, Fulham has made a very good offer, and there is now a growing sense that he will sign on and remain with the team.
Arabiya is in high demand, and several clubs in England and throughout Europe have inquired about the prospect of a pre-contract agreement.
Because he holds Arariboia in such high regard and has made it plain in both public and private that he wants to hang onto one of his most valuable players, Marco Silva has played a pivotal role in the effort to retain Arariboia.

According to sources, the English defender has had a conversation with the Portuguese boss, who has informed him of his significance to the Cottagers.
Adarabioyo, who joined Fulham from Manchester City in 2020, has been a vital member of the team. Since his injury return in November of last year, he has appeared in 14 league games.
Chalobah would consider moving from Chelsea to Fulham.
Chalobah, the 24-year-old center back for Chelsea, is another player based in West London who is impacted by this development.
Although sources indicate that Chalobah is on Fulham’s list of possible Adarabioyo replacements, the former Man City player’s new contract puts that move on hold.
Because his brother Nathaniel, who also assists with his representation, was a Fulham player, the Chelsea defender is amenable to the move and the club and his family get along well.
Only five games have Chalobah played for the Blues this season after he made a full recovery from a chronic hamstring ailment last month.
There is now a strong expectation that Adarabioyo will sign a new long-term contract with Fulham and make a commitment to play for the team at least next season.
Marco Silva and the board want to finish this as soon as possible, but nothing is finalized until the contract’s ink is dry.
