The Phoenix Suns have had a contract offer turned down by key player Eric Bledsoe, according to a report in the press.

The point guard has come to the end of his current contract in Phoenix, with ESPN suggesting that Bledsoe has now turned down a four-year deal worth $48m (£28.1m).

The report states that Bledsoe could be looking to hold out for a maximum five-year deal worth in the region of $80m (£48.8m).

The Milwaukee Bucks are thought to hold an interest in Bledsoe.
