I never expected him to leave Manchester City so soon until he hold me himself that he will be joining Newcastle by January”- Man City star Phil Foden has just revealed his “phenomenal” teammate will be joining Newcastle by January transfer window
In the midst of links to Newcastle and Everton, Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is said to decide on his future in November or December.
The England international moved from Leeds United to the Etihad for £42 million in July 2022, but only 26 appearances, including four starts, have been made for Man City as a result of injuries and contention for starting positions.
In contrast, Phillips played 234 times for Leeds during his stint there, making 14 goals and 13 assists. He once held a reputation as one of the Premier League’s top defensive midfielders.
As a result, there have been rumors that Pep Guardiola would let Phillips go on loan from Man City in January in order to assist him restart his career. According to reports, the manager would be open to selling him for the proper sum.
Numerous Premier League clubs have taken notice of this. Phillips has reportedly caught the attention of Tottenham, but Everton and Newcastle have also shown interest in acquiring him.
Romano recently provided an update on whether Phillips would leave Manchester City in January.
Romano dismisses Newcastle and links Phillips with Everton
According to Romano, no formal discussions over Phillips’ future have yet taken place between Man City and any team.
If his playing time doesn’t grow, the 27-year-old may think about leaving the Etihad, though.
Despite links to Newcastle and Everton, Romano said regarding Phillips in his Daily Briefing, “I’m not aware of any concrete talks on this one.”
“Phillips is still focused on doing his best for City, therefore a choice will be made later, perhaps November or December. He wanted to stay at City this summer despite several approaches.
Newcastle won’t make any decisions on transfer targets until they know how their Champions League group is doing.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Magpies make a move for Eddie Howe because he wants to bring in competition for players like Bruno Guimaraes, Sean Longstaff, and Sandro Tonali and is rumored to be a fan of Phillips.
Sean Dyche, the manager of Everton, wants to add a new midfielder this offseason. Amadou Onana has also delivered some strong performances, and James Garner has been in outstanding form lately.
However, Idrissa Gana Gueye has exhibited some inconsistency, and Everton may be without him for a while once the Africa Cup of Nations begins in mid-January. He is important to Senegal.
One of the Toffees’ most crucial players, Abdoulaye Doucoure, will also compete for Mali in the match.
In light of this, Everton may find it wise to sign a seasoned Premier League midfielder like Phillips, but it’s probable they would only be able to do so on a temporary basis.
