It’s always the same on deadline day, however in the case of Liam Cullen speculation of five clubs interested in him this afternoon from many sources including our own is cause for concern.
Liam was retained on a one year option at the Swans for this season, he was told play well to your best standards and you will be rewarded by Swansea City. That came from head coach, Luke Williams. He also stated, "I'm sure if you asked Culls, he'd sign a lifetime contract at Swansea. No doubt. But there's a lot that goes into it and for me, the obvious thing that's going to happen is that Cully's going to have the bit between his teeth, and he's going to go get something far better than what he was talking about a few weeks ago. I know that's what's going to happen”
Well, it hasn’t happened yet, and there have been negotiations, and we can tell you without any doubt the player and the club have failed to reach a conclusion. Liam has turned down contract offers this summer. The rest of the championship know this, and his representatives with him being at the very top of his fee grade this week are indeed working for the best solution. (CAA Base) Withiut doubt there is interest but as of this time there have been no firm offers but plenty of inquiries. How the Swans manage these type of situations isn’t known, however, are we talking a total fee in excess of two million pounds ? That has been suggested, and we know that would interest Swansea if accurate.
However, it’s now quite simple, Liam Cullen wants to stay at Swansea, he has been offered a contract but it’s way lower than you would expect a Swans player to have in the championship, and other clubs want him.
We understand his current weekly contract is around £3,600 a week.
