Leeds starting to sweat over new Kalvin Phillips contract
Leeds United are starting to sweat over the future of Kalvin Phillips and a new contract, according to Eurosport.
The online outlet have shared on their website that the two parties are still some way from finding common ground over another deal.
It is suggested that more money may need to be offered despite it being mooted that the Yorkshire Pirlo would become the highest-paid player at Elland Road.
The decision of Phillips is said to be about more than just money, though.
It is said that the academy talent loves the club, but wants reassurances regarding the ambition to remain competitive in the Premier League after our tough start.
Declan Rice, West Ham skipper and England teammate is also demanding higher terms in his next contract, and that could be set to affect Leeds.
Phillips’ representatives are aware of Rice’s demands and are said to be heading in a similar direction to those.
Please, no.
The last thing we need is all this speculation growing.
Should big clubs sniff out that Leeds are sweating over the future of Phillips, they could start to circle in the very near future.
It is obvious that the Yorkshire Pirlo is destined for the very top, and would easily fit in any club in the Premier League at this moment.
Having said that, Leeds know that they need to offer whatever it takes to keep their starman past 2024.
A new deal also secures the value to the club, and if an exit does happen, it will be for mega-money. We expect movement soon, and hopefully, it is a more positive update than this one.
