Transfer news: Paul Green still waiting on contract offer from Ipswich

Paul Green is in contact with Ipswich Town, but has no offer as yet to return to the club for the 2014/15 campaign.

The 31-year-old midfielder is available as a free agent following his release by Leeds United.

He saw out the 2013/14 season on loan at Portman Road and had hoped to have done enough to earn a permanent stay.

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy is yet to make an approach, though, and Green admits he is keeping all of his options open as a result.

The Republic of Ireland international said in the Green Un: “My agent has spoken to Mick but no offer has been made yet.

I have spoken to a couple of other teams but nothing is certain yet. It’s a case of wait and see, but Ipswich would definitely be up there at the top of my list.

“I really enjoyed it at Ipswich and I could see myself moving down there, but you never know what is going to happen.

“I have spoken to a couple of other teams but nothing is certain yet. It’s a case of wait and see, but Ipswich would definitely be up there at the top of my list.

“Mick was brilliant and was a big attraction in me going down there, he knows how to get teams out of this division.

“He also creates a great team spirit and I didn’t want the season to end.”

While prepared to bide his time, Green admits he is hoping to have something in place by the time teams return for pre-season training at the start of July.

He added: “You don’t want to be missing much of pre-season as it’s such an important part of the build-up to the season.

“I remember missing one before and you are playing catch-up all the time.

“It would be nice to get something sorted in the next couple of weeks.”
