Tete arrived at Craven Cottage from Lyon in 2020 and is entering the final year of his contract, with an option to extend for another 12 months.
The former Ajax youngster, 27, is valued at around £10.5million.
The 14-cap star has played a key role in Fulham’s impressive return to the Prem, with one goal and five assists.
But Tete is injury prone and missed six games early in the campaign.
Fulham brought in Arsenal’s Cedric Soares on loan in January as cover.
But Tete’s love for the Prem was clear when he joined the Cottagers
He told FFCtv at the time: “It is a great feeling. I feel blessed to be here.
“I heard of Fulham’s interest and I was bowled over.

“I spoke with people around me and knew quickly I wanted to leave Lyon and join Fulham.
“The team is back in the Premier League now and I will give 100 per cent to keep us there.”
