Leeds United: The contract situation of every player as talks continue with Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha - Yorkshire Post 12/1/22
Leeds United are in a stronger position than most when it comes to the contract status of their senior squad.
By Ben McKenna
Adam Forshaw is the only player in Marcelo Bielsa's side set
to be out of contract this summer although reports have revealed how the club
are confident of securing the midfielder's future by the end of the next week.
The former Brentford midfielder has produced a number of
fine displays since returning from a long and frustrating injury lay-off.
"I'd love [to stay at Leeds]," he said in December
when addressing his contract situation.
"My kids are in pre-school, we've loved it, I've never
enjoyed living somewhere as much as I've enjoyed living here and I've had a
torrid time on the pitch, so that says a lot about the people and the area and
what I think of the place.
"I'm just enjoying playing again and see what the
future holds. I hope [to stay], I don't know. It's not up to me. I just want to
keep playing, stay in the team and help them climb up the table."
That would leave zero senior players without a deal come the
end of the season while just four players will see their contracts expire in
the summer of 2023.
The Whites are also reportedly in discussions with star
players Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha about improving their deals at Elland
Road.
Both players have been the subject of numerous transfer
rumours but their contract situation does leave Leeds in the position to
command a sizeable fee for their signatures if the decision is made for either
player to leave Elland Road.
