Peterborough United appear set to complete the sale of winger Kyrell Lisbie to Championship club Millwall, in a deal reported to be worth £3 million with potential add-ons taking the total to £6 million. The move, first linked locally and since amplified by national transfer reporter Pete O'Rourke, would represent a sizeable profit for the club and a notable step up in competition for the 22-year-old.
Deal details and confirmation
According to reporting, Millwall are in advanced talks to sign Lisbie. The figures circulating were summed up on social media by a national journalist:
“Understand Millwall are in advanced talks to sign Peterborough winger Kyrell Lisbie in a £3m deal potentially rising to £6m.”
Peterborough today first ran the story earlier this month; the fresh report adds weight to those earlier local links. Posh had already offered Lisbie a new contract which runs until June 2030, a move made as the club anticipated interest in the forward following an impressive breakthrough season.
Player form and club context
Lisbie enjoyed a strong season after his arrival from National League side Braintree, finishing with 14 goals and being credited with seven assists. He featured heavily, appearing in 44 of Posh’s 46 League One matches, though reports note his form dipped late in the campaign as fatigue affected his performances.
- Goals: 14 (all competitions)
- Assists: 7
- Appearances: 44 of 46 League One matches
- Contract: runs until June 2030
| Stat | Figure |

Implications for Peterborough United
For Peterborough, the deal would be notable for two reasons. Financially, the headline fee represents an excellent return on an acquisition from non-league football—the club’s recruitment team have again found a talent who has increased his value substantially. Practically, losing a player who contributed 14 goals and seven assists will force management to consider recruitment priorities for the summer window.
Posh have already added left-wing cover in the form of Owura Edwards from Colchester United, a signing described as supplementary rather than a replacement for Lisbie. Supporters and club officials have previously expressed concern about perceived weaknesses at centre-back and in midfield; the arrival of a Championship bid for Lisbie will intensify focus on how any funds are reinvested.
Next steps and local reaction
Millwall are known to be seeking wide players following their play-off semi-final exit from the Championship last season. If the deal is concluded, it will underline the pathway Peterborough has created from non-league and lower-league recruitment to higher levels of the game.
For local supporters, the transfer story combines pride in the club’s development record with apprehension about squad depth. The scale of any eventual fee will likely shape Posh’s activity in the remaining weeks of the summer window and determine whether the club can patch the holes perceived by many fans.
The situation remains subject to final agreement between the clubs and the player, and further statements from Peterborough United or Millwall are expected should the transfer be completed.
