Worth £60 million? Calvin Phillips: It's crazy, but I wouldn't say it's not worth the price

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Leeds United midfielder Calvin Phillips said he was willing to complete a contract extension with the club, and for the report of the £60 million, he said he would not say that it was not worth the price.

Injuries have plagued Leeds United this season, with Calvin Phillips absent from a hamstring strain until February next year. Calvin Phillips and Leeds United are currently on contract with 2024 and so far this season he has made 15 appearances, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist.

Calvin Phillips: "I just want to focus on getting back to health right now, but I talk to the club regularly. I want a new contract and I'm happy here. ”

Some time earlier, the Leeds-born England midfielder had been linked to Manchester United and Liverpool, and some media said that the deal could reach 60 million pounds.

Asked if the transfer fee was reasonable, Calvin Phillips said: "I think it's crazy but I wouldn't say I'm not worth £60m! ”

Commenting on the team's struggling form so far this season, Calvin Phillips said: "The most important thing is that we have played with every team now and we are no longer a new team in the Premier League. A lot of the teams know how to play against us and they change formations two or three times every game, which really disrupts the way we play and makes us a little bit confused. ”

"We've been playing like this for four years and I can honestly say we didn't play as well as last season, but I also think we're very unlucky. There were games we lost in the last few minutes and maybe we could have dealt with it better. I'm not the one who blames someone or a manager, I'm more inclined to blame myself. I want to do the best I can for the team. But when I sit here injured, I can't do it. ”
