Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich was to sign formidable’ Manchester City FLOP Player who have started Zero games this season
Although the England player Kelvin Phillips is now having trouble getting playing time at Manchester City, it appears that the midfielder has a large following.
That is what 90min claims, listing Aston Villa as one of the teams interested in the former Leeds United midfielder.
Aston Villa is reportedly interested in purchasing Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City, according to 90min.
Phillips plays a supporting role on Pep Guardiola’s team, as we are all aware.
The 27-year-old midfielder was signed by the Citizens back in the summer of 2022, and Director of Football Txiki Begiristain called him “a formidable talent” with “fantastic ability and quality” on the club’s official website. Despite Rodri’s suspension, the Manchester City manager has ignored the player.
This season, Phillips has only played 70 minutes in the Premier League.
The midfielder started just two league games for City last year.
According to 90min, Bayern Munich has contacted City about the possibility of signing Phillips in the January transfer window.
According to the article, Phillips is also coveted by Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Aston Villa.
Previously, Aston Villa was interested in signing Kalvin Phillips.
It’s interesting to note that Phillips and Aston Villa have been mentioned in connection before.
At the time, Villa was quite interested in the midfielder.
At the time, Leeds was home to Phillips.
In September 2019, Villa reportedly made a £15 million offer for Phillips, according to The Telegraph.
Leeds rejected it.
The midfielder later extended his contract with Leeds and eventually assisted in the team’s promotion to the Premier League.
And it appears that Villa is once again interested in signing Phillips.
Given that Phillips is unlikely to succeed at City under Guardiola, perhaps this time, he might be persuaded to transfer to Villa Park.
