There’s plenty of contract talk surrounding Leeds United at the moment.
After renewing the deals of multiple of their most important players over the summer, including Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon and Jayden Bogle, United are not finished there.
According to reports, Leeds and Daniel Farke have agreed in principle on a deal that will keep the German at Elland Road until 2029. However, at the time of writing, this is yet to be confirmed.
And now, more contract news has emerged regarding one of the Whites’ star players. This makes sense when considering the latest transfer talk that recently cropped up regarding the player in question.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin set to sign new Leeds United contract – BBC
Just last night, The Athletic reported that Man United were interested in potentially bringing Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Old Trafford in January.
The report did say that the Whites did not want to lose their target man and the club were eager to tie Calvert-Lewin down to a new deal, with his current contract expiring in 2028.
Now, the BBC have reported that Calvert-Lewin is expected to sign a new contract at Leeds United. Effectively extinguishing that Man United transfer talk for good.
The report does not state how long this new deal will be. However, when considering the transfer rumblings surrounding the 29-year-old, offering Calvert-Lewin a new deal is a no-brainer. Especially when, at the end of this season, he will be in the last year of his contract.
He’s been nothing short of exceptional since joining us on a free transfer after leaving Everton in 2025. In his first campaign, Calvert-Lewin scored 15 goals for us in all competitions, and this season, he’s on five so far.
No wonder Man United are jealous.
With Calvert-Lewin now being one of the better number nines in the entire Premier League, keeping him around for as long as possible is the smartest thing we can do. Hopefully, these rumours regarding him and Man United will now evaporate as quickly as they first came to our attention.
At one point, committing our long-term future to Calvert-Lewin would’ve seemed ludicrous when considering his injury record and patchy form. Now, it’s a no-brainer.
This news won’t come as a surprise to Leeds United supporters
Reading those rumours regarding Calvert-Lewin last night, I think we all came to the same conclusion.
No way we sell Calvert-Lewin to Man United. And definitely not in January.
Such a move would instantly take us from a relatively comfortable mid-table Premier League side to one that is in the midst of a relegation battle unless an adequate replacement is brought in.
It’s a move that would instantly undo all of the good work the 49ers have done as our owners.
They are far too shrewd to make a mistake of this magnitude.
Inevitably, there will come a point where Leeds United and Calvert-Lewin have to part ways. But it doesn’t look like this time will come for either party anytime soon.
In West Yorkshire, Calvert-Lewin is adored and is certainly the main man up top. A feeling he’s been chasing since he hit form at Everton under Carlo Ancelotti.
Why would he throw that away to join the most toxic club in England who are currently in crisis?
Short answer is, he wouldn’t.
