"Owner Doug King has claimed that he has yet to hold contract talks with Lampard amid speculation over his long-term future with the club, hinting that it's unlikely to come up until at least the end of the current campaign."
"He has questioned why there is a need to discuss new terms when they already agreed a deal until June 2027, suggesting there's no need for talks just yet, particularly with the team so close to getting over the line and winning promotion."
"I always find it amusing, you give somebody a contract for like a lot of years and then some years into it they want another chat about a contract."
"The reality is, you know, we don't go into that at this point. And I think this is a moment to have no distractions on absolutely anything."
