British media outlet BBC has reported that England forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin is considering extending his contract with his current team, Leeds Aston Villa. According to the article, Leeds are planning to offer the player a new contract to prevent him from leaving.
Calvert-Lewin is 29 years old and made his first team debut in 2015 after coming through Sheffield United's youth organization. The following year, he moved to Everton, where he scored 71 goals and provided 22 assists in 273 games over nine seasons. He moved to Leeds in 2024 and scored 15 goals in the 2025-26 season, and continues to lead the team with 5 goals this season. His current contract runs until June 30, 2028, and Leeds are looking to extend this period to stabilize their squad.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are in urgent need of reinforcements up front due to the injury to Slovenian national team forward Benjamin Šeško, and rumors have surfaced that they are considering acquiring Calvert-Lewin in this winter's transfer window. Following the move, Leeds are reportedly actively negotiating to keep the player.
Calvert-Lewin currently plays a key role at Leeds and his contract extension is key to the club's continued strength. It will be interesting to see whether specific contract terms will be presented between Leeds and the player, and whether Manchester United's interest will actually lead to a transfer. Leeds are said to be aiming to reach an agreement early to minimize the risk of the player leaving.
