Leeds star set for contract extension this summer, new deal could double his wages – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Leeds United are looking to agree on a new deal with Stuart Dallas.
According to Football Insider, the 30-year-old has two years left on his current deal and the Premier League side are willing to reward him with an extension and a pay rise.
Dallas has been a key player for Leeds this season and his versatility has been very useful for Marcelo Bielsa.
He has been ever-present for Leeds this season and has started all 33 of their Premier League matches.
Apart from his quality, Dallas’s availability is a major asset for Bielsa and the fact that he has managed to complete 32 of his 33 League games in the Premier League this term is a testament to his endurance and stamina.
According to reports, the two parties are set to open talks regarding the big-money contract at the end of the season and the new deal could double the player’s salary.
Dallas currently earns around £20,000 a week and he has a contract with the Whites until the summer of 2023.
He has managed to establish himself as a key player for Leeds in the Premier League this season and there is no doubt that he deserves a bumper pay rise. The fans will certainly be delighted with the news.
However, he is 30 years old and the new contract is unlikely to be a long one. It remains to be seen whether the player is keen on signing a short term extension with the Elland Road outfit this summer.
