“Newcastle are keeping their pressure on Phillips,” the Italian journalist tweeted on X (formerly known as Twitter). NUFC and Manchester City are negotiating a loan trade.
“Kalvin is keen to join the Magpies, especially in view of EURO 2024.”
Manchester City has a succession plan in place.
Manchester City have already decided what they would do whenever Phillips leaves the Etihad Stadium.
According to Sky Sports, Txiki Begiristain is looking for a young, homegrown centre midfielder to replace the 28-year-old.
If Manchester City’s Director of Football is unable to identify a midfielder of such calibre, Joao Neves of Benfica might be bought instead.
