Fairytale Leeds United return for James Milner off the table as Klopp reveals contract talks

Ever since Leeds United were forced to sell James Milner after they were relegated in 2003/04, there have always been hopes amongst the fanbase that the club would one day be able to bring the academy product back to Elland Road.

These hopes grew fainter over the years as the Whites spent so long outside the top division before finally returning to the Premier League last season after 16 years away. However, Milner was playing for the Premier League champions, Liverpool at that stage, so he was unobtainable for Leeds.

Milner is out of contract this summer but - even at the age of 36 - won't be returning to Elland Road as Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Milner wants to play on and both player and club are keen for him to stay at least another season at Liverpool as they have contract talks.
