As his agent I would ask how much we would sell him for; on the reply of £30m plus ... I would say £30m plus footballers earn over £60k per week.

Me thinks he will sign a new 3 year deal of £35k per week soon... with a £20m buyout clause if we don’t go up this summer. If we go up I suspect the same contract will trigger a £25k rise and a years extension. That would be fair all round.

From the YEP:-

The long-term future of midfielder Kalvin Phillips remains high on the agenda for Leeds United.

Negotiations are ongoing over a new deal for the 23-year-old and further talks took place last Thursday.

Club owner Andrea Radrizzani, who revealed on Twitter that he was back in Leeds last week, joined Whites director of football Victor Orta to meet with Phillips’ representative, former Leeds player Kevin Sharp.

Sharp says the possibility of an agreement on a contract extension looks ‘very promising.’

Phillips, into the last two years of his current deal, was the subject of serious interest from Premier League clubs like Aston Villa in the summer and Leeds knocked back an offer well in excess of £20m for their home grown talent.

Managing director Angus Kinnear told the YEP recently that keeping Phillips was a major summer priority for the club and that doing so, despite the money being offered by a top flight club, was evidence of the owner’s commitment to Leeds United.

Phillips himself came in for praise from the MD for the way he handled the speculation linking him with a Premier League move and Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa also highlighted Phillips’ exemplary professionalism in pre-season.

“It’s clear for all to see that the owner, Victor Orta and the manager all see Kalvin as a major player in the squad,” said Sharp.

“No matter how important he is, they want to get the best deal possible and I want to get him the best deal possible.

“Kalvin is really happy to stay and wants to sign a new deal.

“We had a very amicable meeting, we all came out very positive.

“It looks very promising, that’s as much as I can say.”

Phillips, a Thorp Arch academy product, has played every minute of Leeds United’s first six fixtures this season and made the most tackles of any player in Bielsa’s squad.

NINETEEN-year-old midfielder Callum Nicell has left Leeds United by mutual consent.

The teen leaves the Whites having made big strides within the club's Academy but ultimately falling just short of ever making a Whites debut.

Originally from Doncaster, Nicell joined Leeds at the age of seven and worked his way up the ranks in United's youth set up with the midfielder named the 2016/17 Academy Player of the Year.

The midfielder was then taken by former boss Garry Monk with the senior squad to the Championship game at Fulham on March 7, 2017.

Having already been capped three times by the Republic of Ireland U18's and called up to the under-19's squad in March 2018, Nicell was then named on the Leeds bench by boss Paul Heckingbottom for the 1-1 draw at home to Sunderland on April 7, 2018.

Another outing on the bench followed for the 3-1 loss at Preston North End and Nicell then began the 2018-19 campaign excelling for United's under-23s.

Nicell then signed a new two-year deal last September with the midfielder highlighting the influence of Chelsea loanee Lewis Baker.

But Nicell was never called upon by Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa and the Academy graduate then played in a friendly for Leicester City's under-23s in July.
