Walsall manager Jon Whitney has spoken to the local press and revealed that, despite several months of negotiations, central defender Matt Preston - who is out-of-contract at the beginning of next week, could still depart the Banks's Stadium as they are yet to agree terms on a new deal.
Jon, who was speaking via the Express & Star, said; "Matt’s contract is up on Monday. We are still in negotiations to see if we can do something but nothing is guaranteed yet.
"He is still about the club but we are still negotiating to see if we can do something. The key thing is he has done all of pre-season. The kid is fit. It’s just a matter of seeing of we can come to an agreement. We are working on things but have not come to an agreement yet with Matty."
