Lee Bowyer has told Charlton’s new owners he wants his contract sorted this weekend.
New chairman Matt Southall has said they will not talk about his deal until the end of the January transfer window.
But Bowyer wants his future sorted to boost their chances of signing players this month.
Bowyer, whose contract expires in June, told the South London Press: “I want Matt and my agent – who is coming to the West Brom home game on Friday – to put a contract together this weekend. There is no reason why they can’t.
"No one wants to sign for a club if the manager’s future is not clear.
"They are both in the same place. Matt has told me that is what they will do.
“There is no reason to wait until the end of the month when they are sitting in front of each other.
“They should put something together, so that hopefully by next week, I will be signed."
