Kalvin Phillips could be offered a way out at Man City as Premier League club ‘consider’
deal Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips could be offered a way out, at least temporarily.
Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips could have a way out as he struggles to establish himself as a first-team regular at the Etihad Stadium. The England international has rarely appeared since his expensive transfer from Leeds United last summer.
Pep Guardiola has admitted not getting the best out of the midfielder, saying Marcelo Bielsa’s system suits him much better.
Meanwhile, Phillips said he has to make a decision before the January transfer window, with Gareth Southgate warning he will choose his Euro 2024 squad based on players playing regularly for the club their set.
Phillips said:
“I know I have to play games and compete every weekend. I will have to make a decision about [my future] in the next few months. Gareth just said that to keep my place I had to play. This is what I want to do. I agree with Gareth on this point.
Phillips struggled with Man City, unable to adapt to Guardiola’s system, and even in Rodri’s absence, Guardiola still looked elsewhere to fill the void in midfield. It now appears the midfielder will move elsewhere in January, whether on loan or otherwise, and according to reports there is already interest.
I claim that Newcastle United are interested in loaning Phillips due to a new problem in their squad.
The Magpies signed £60m star Sandro Tonali in the summer, but just months later the midfielder appears to have been handed an extended ban due to alleged breaches of playing rules. half a point, and Phillips would be considered an alternative, especially if City loan him out.
However, this may depend on whether Newcastle is willing to pay his full £160,000-a-week salary, as Man City will not want to help their rival with the highest salary in the top 4.
