Kalvin Phillips would reportedly earn a percentage of any transfer fee over £25 million if Leeds United are relegated and forced into selling him. That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim that a clause in his contract would be triggered if Leeds finish in the bottom three and return to the Championship.
The 26-year-old has two years left to run on his current deal at Elland Road and has been linked with a move away this summer, with Manchester United, Aston Villa and West Ham all thought to be keen. But Phillips has repeatedly made it clear that his wish is to remain at Leeds beyond this season, though that will depend on the division the Whites find themselves in given his career with England on the international stage.
In an interview with BBC West Yorkshire Sport on Friday, he said: He said: “I’ve made my intentions clear that I want to be at Leeds and I’ll focus on that until my contract ends.

“It’s always been something that I’m not really worried about too much. It’s always been something I’ve been confident in. There’s always going to be noise when you’re an England international and you’re playing for one of the biggest teams in the country.
“Until the end of the season, I’ll be happy at Leeds and I always will be.”
The report also states that Phillips is set to change agents when his deal with his current representatives runs out next month. A number of the UK’s top agencies are keen on acquiring his services, which could put talks over a new deal with Leeds on the backburner until it is confirmed.
