Manchester City FLOP Kalvin Phillips has left Manchester City this evening to join premier league rivals! after Pep Guardiola benched him for 6 straight games
Newcastle will press on with their pursuit of Kalvin Phillips. LONDONCLUBNEWS –
Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips is expected to leave during the January transfer window. Newcastle is in pole position to sign Phillips, but an initial loan deal is being considered. Due to the suspension of Sandro Tonali, the Magpies are looking for reinforcements.
According to sources acquainted with the issue, Newcastle United intends to reinforce their midfield by pursuing Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips during the January transfer window.
The Magpies are looking for midfield reinforcements, especially after Sandro Tonali, their key summer recruit, earned a season-ending sentence for betting charges.
Newcastle’s interest in Phillips predates their discovery of Tonali’s probable suspension, and intermediaries are said to have informed the club that Manchester City is willing to let Phillips leave in January.
Newcastle prefers to secure Phillips initially on loan because to financial issues relating to Financial Fair Play regulations. While Manchester City is open to such a deal, they would only agree provided Newcastle had the chance to make a purchase later.
Despite interest from clubs across England and Europe, including Aston Villa, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Borussia Dortmund, and Juventus, the 27-year-old midfielder appears to be most interested in joining Newcastle.
Phillips wanted to prove himself at Manchester City and hoped to be back in action by Christmas. However, it is becoming clear that he is not in Pep Guardiola’s long-term plans for the club.
Although Phillips has overcome his injury issues from his first season at Etihad Stadium, he has received little game time this season, playing only 215 minutes and starting only one match, which strangely ended in a 1-0 loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup’s third round.
Despite his minimal club playing time, Phillips has remained in Gareth Southgate’s England squad throughout this season’s international windows.
In addition, Newcastle is in talks with Feyenoord to end Yankuba Minteh’s loan tenure in January. The winger delighted his parent club with his displays in the Netherlands after returning to Tyneside for treatment on a hamstring issue.
