Leeds United are desperate to find a “resolution” over the future of Kalvin Phillips as interest continues to grow over a major summer exit.
Dean Jones has reported that there are now big doubts over a potential new contract, with Manchester City’s interest now a real worry for those at Elland Road.
Andrea Radrizzani was waiting until the end of the season to start contract talks, with Leeds’ Premier League status now secured for another season.
Writing for his latest GIVE ME SPORT piece, Jones shared the latest regarding the Yorkshire Pirlo with everything not as straightforward as it seems right now.
“There is also some doubt over Kalvin Phillips as the club seek a resolution to terms that would see him sign an extended contract,” he said.
“It’s slightly worrying for them that Manchester City are being linked to him, as that is a different level from West Ham or Newcastle.”
Resolution.
Leeds need to make this happen immediately.
Radrizzani and Victor Orta will never be forgiven if they can’t get Phillips to put pen-to-paper on a new contract and extend his stay in West Yorkshire for even longer.
The ball has been in their court for months now, and each time it was shared that all parties would wait until the end of the season to get this done, just in case of relegation.
Now that isn’t the case and we survived, a financial package that makes Phillips the best-paid player at the club has to be placed in front of him and that should be too good to say no.
With Manchester City mentioned, does the Yorkshire Pirlo want to go and sit on the bench, potentially playing 50% of games, or play every single week and become captain of his boyhood club in a couple of years.
The goal has to be European football moving forward, and Phillips has to be made that promise that Leeds will strengthen the squad dramatically around his contract extension.
Find that resolution quickly.
