Leeds United could sell Kalvin Phillips in the summer transfer window amid interest from Manchester United, Aston Villa and Newcastle United, according to The Daily Mail.

The report has claimed that Manchester United, Villa and Newcastle all are interested in signing Phillips from Premier League rivals Leeds in the summer transfer window.

Leeds turned down two offers of £55 million from West Ham United in the January transfer window, but the West Yorkshire club could now do a complete U-turn and sell the England international midfielder for £60 million this summer, according to the report.

The Daily Mail have added that Phillips is in the process of switching agents and Leeds may decide to sell him if they are unable to increase his wages from £50,000-a-week (The Daily Mirror) to £100,000-a-week.

Phillips, though, has told Leeds that he wants to stay and does not want to move to bitter rivals Manchester United.

Uncertain Leeds United future for Kalvin Phillips

In our opinion, Leeds will be in a dilemma in the summer transfer window regarding Phillips, if they are unable to stay in the Premier League.

Phillips is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, and he is too good for the Championship.
