Portsmouth FC face an important contract decision as a key first-team player seeks a new deal that would represent a clear increase on his current terms.
That player is Colby Bishop, who continues to be a fan favourite at Fratton Park due to his goals, physical presence, and consistent performances. Bishop remains an integral part of John Mousinho’s squad and is widely regarded as one of the club’s most influential players.
Discussions between Bishop’s representatives and the club are ongoing. Those close to the talks indicate the striker believes his current contract no longer reflects his importance to the team. While no figures are being made public, the request is understood to involve a notable uplift in wages, in line with senior players at the club.
Portsmouth are keen to retain Bishop and avoid unnecessary disruption, but the club is also conscious of maintaining balance within its wage structure. With interest in proven goalscorers always present across the EFL, the situation is being handled carefully.
For now, Bishop remains fully committed to Pompey’s objectives and continues to focus on performances on the pitch. A resolution is expected in the coming weeks, as both sides look to secure clarity over his long-term future at Fratton Park.
