Bristol City CEO Richard Gould remains hopeful Han-Noah Massengo will sign a new contract at Ashton Gate but is refusing to put a timeline on the situation as the Frenchman approaches the final 12 months of his deal.
Massengo has had an offer on the table since before Christmas, after City rebuffed a substantial offer from Premier League Watford last summer but with one game of the season remaining, the 21-year-old is yet to commit.
The issue for City is that once the summer window closes, Massengo’s value begins to plummet and they then run the risk of losing him for minimal compensation in 2023 when his agreement expires.
