Jimmy Bullard demanding £2m pay-off to leave Hull City - report

EPL: Jimmy Bullard, Manchester City v Hull City(Getty Images)
Jimmy Bullard is believed to be demanding £2 million from Hull City if he is to walk through the exit door.

The relegated Tigers have for some time been in the process of reducing a massive wage bill that has weighed down on the club, and remain keen to offload the injury prone midfielder - who is believed to be earning £45,000-a-week.

However, The Mirror reports that the former Wigan Athletic player is holding out for a £2m pay-off to annul his contract with the club, so as to move on a free transfer to Newcastle United or Celtic.

It has been speculated that Bullard would then agree to a deal within the means of either of his suitors.
