Leeds are ready to explore an initial loan move to bring Kalvin Phillips back to the club if they can secure an instant Premier League return.
Phillips, currently on loan at West Ham, will return to Manchester City at the end of the season when the current Treble holders will look to sell the midfielder on a permanent deal.
City want £30million for Phillips having signed him from Elland Road in 2022.
Phillips has deep-rooted emotional ties to Leeds, who would be interested in re-signing the 28-year-old provided they are back in the top-flight next season.
