England midfielder, Kalvin Phillips has no desire to leave Leeds United, his agent has said. He recently revealed that Philips only wanted to be rewarded more before signing his latest contract.
According to him, the last contract his client penned included provisions within it for if Leeds reached the Premier League, so Kalvin’s future is all set up for the top flight.
He, however, added that if Leeds want to improve that and protect their asset, he’d be interested in sitting down with them.
His words, “Before Kalvin signed his last contract, we had good interest so we sat down and explored all the pros and cons.”
“His desire was never to leave, it was to be rewarded and stay and play for the team he supported as a kid.”
“Within the contract he signed in September 2019, we included provisions within it for if Leeds reached the Premier League, so it’s all set up for the top flight.”
“We knew it was a bit of a gamble, but we knew Leeds would get there under [Marcelo] Bielsa and obviously they did.”
“There may be clubs who are actually looking at Kalvin now because the more successful you are – playing for England in big tournaments – naturally breeds interest.”
“But Kalvin is happy at Leeds and has no desire to move whatsoever. It’s more a case of ‘carry on what you’re doing for club and country’.”
“It’s not something we’re banging on the door to make happen because it’s about Kalvin playing and enjoying his football.”
“But if Leeds want to improve that and protect their assets, for sure we’d be interested in sitting down with them. His value will increase and long may that continue.”
