Charlton Athletic are still waiting for a response from Peterborough United’s Jonson Clarke-Harris after making a significant contract offer, according to the Peterborough Telegraph.
Charlton Athletic are among the clubs pursuing Peterborough United forwardthis month. The Posh talisman is out of contract at the end of the season and, for the right price, he can leave London Road.
Last week, it was claimed that the Addicks and their League One opponents had agreed on a cost of roughly £500,000. However, more developments are yet to emerge, and the 29-year-old will remain a Peterborough player for the time being.
Posh manager Darren Ferguson has revealed that contract conditions have still to be negotiated. According to the Peterborough Telegraph, the price on offer is ‘substantial’, but Clarke-Harris may wait to see if better bids arrive. He said:
“Johnno has not yet agreed to personal terms, and I’m not sure how long Charlton will wait.
“It is up to Johnno what happens. It is in his hands. He’s been excellent for us, but he knows his playing time here will soon be restricted.
Biding his time.
Clarke-Harris has been a significant figure for Peterborough United throughout the years, but his contract situation means a transfer away is best for everyone. Posh appear to be preferring other strikers, but their stance creates a significant opportunity for possible suitors.
A striker with 104 goals in 262 League One games is rarely available. Charlton Athletic will be aiming to take advantage of this opportunity, but with the player taking his time before making a choice, there is still work to be done.
Clarke-Harris has excelled in the third tier and is also a capable attacker at Championship level. He’ll be determined to ensure that his next move is the greatest one for him.
