The Brazil-born player agreed to a deal that will keep him at the club until 2030.

Silva praised the contract, saying it was a positive development for Rodrigo, the team, and the fans.

He noted that Rodrigo has formed a strong bond with the fans, which is not always easy to achieve.

Over the past two seasons, Rodrigo has performed well, with impressive numbers that suggest he is a valuable asset to the team.

Silva believes that finding a striker of Rodrigo's caliber is difficult in the current football landscape, with many clubs seeking to sign top players.

There were rumors and interest from other clubs, but Silva was confident that Rodrigo would ultimately remain with Fulham.

With the contract now signed, Silva is pleased to see Rodrigo feel more secure about his future and the team's prospects.

This is a positive development for the club, the fans, and the player, who is still young and has a lot to offer.
