Leeds United may need to pay £20m to bring Kalvin Phillips back from Manchester City, a report from TEAMtalk has said.
Leeds United are making plans for both a Premier League rise and a Championship stay ahead of the summer. As it stands, LUFC are on course for the former, but the job is far from done.
The Whites are top of the Championship table but following the draw with West Brom and defeat to Portsmouth, Sheffield United are now just two points behind in 2nd. Burnley are another two points behind the Blades as the promotion fight hots up.

It means the pressure is on going into the midweek clash with Millwall, but rumours of potential summer targets continue to circulate.
Somewhat inevitably, reports of a revived move for Kalvin Phillips have re-emerged and now, TEAMtalk reveals how much it could cost to bring the Leeds United academy graduate back.
They state that an offer of around £20m would be enough for Manchester City to sanction a sale.
Phillips is keen to return to his roots and would accept that a pay-cut is inevitable if he wishes to do so. LUFC must achieve promotion to the Premier League though, as this is what derailed a reunion last summer.
