Mills trying to force Prem future?

Reading captain Matt Mills is reportedly trying to force his way out of the Madejski Stadium, in a bid to be playing Premier League football this season.

The 6’3 defender has been linked with a handful of Premier League teams including Stoke, Blackburn, Newcastle and most notably Wolves, who recently had a second bid rejected for the former Manchester City player.

The 24-year old has one year left on his current contract with the Royals, believed to be earning around £20,000 a week. He along with some other key players have been offered new contracts with Reading, in an attempt to keep the squad together.

The Berkshire club are believed to be looking for around £4m in exchange for Mills, with Wolves only offering around the £3m mark.

Now Mills has returned from holiday, he is keen to meet Royals boss Brian McDermott and discuss his future, with Mills’ preference being in the Premier League.
