# Leeds: Pundit says Whites would accept £90m for Kalvin Phillips

**Leeds United will sell star player Kalvin Phillips if an offer in the region of £90m arrives, according to former West Ham striker Frank McAvennie.**

### The Lowdown: Phillips’ future up the air

The 25-year-old has matured into a fantastic footballer in recent years, becoming a key figure for both the Whites and England – Three Lions legend Alan Shearer called him ‘[magnificent](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/alan-shearer-england-kalvin-phillips-20966570)‘ during the summer.

Phillips’ form has unsurprisingly seen him linked with a move away from Leeds, with Manchester United among those thought to be [keen](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/leeds-united-red-devils-set-sights-on-kalvin-phillips/) on acquiring his signature.

There are reports he [could yet sign a new deal](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-journalist-makes-huge-kalvin-phillips-contract-claim/) at Elland Road, however, and it remains to be seen where his future lies.

### The Latest: If the offer comes…

Speaking to [*Football Insider*](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-could-be-on-for-mindblowing-payday-after-sources-update-pundit/), McAvennie, 61, claimed that Leeds would accept an offer of £90million for Phillips, should such a big offer arrive:

> “If that offer comes in, he’s gone.
>
> “I don’t think there will be any problem with that. Is he worth it?  I don’t know. In today’s game, my mind is blown. I look at some of the players who played when I did.
>
> “What would Gazza be worth? Or Lineker? Oh my god, they must be worth millions and millions.
>
> “If people say he’s worth £90million, he’s worth £90million. Who am I to argue?”

### The Verdict: Accept a monumental fee

While Phillips is undoubtedly an almost irreplaceable figure at Leeds, there comes a point where it is better to allow him to move on, should a ridiculous amount of money be offered.

It may be that the England international feels a fresh challenge is required at some point – playing for a Champions League team could appeal – and the Whites could use the money to make the team even stronger.

Ideally, Phillips will see out his career at Leeds, but it would arguably be a surprise if that happened given the immense quality he has shown at the highest level, and if the Whites bank a massive profit it could be a win win for both player and club.
