“I think he is frustrating my career on purpose and I’m not sure of what I did wrong. I have been getting offers from different clubs and it’s time I chose one. I love this club but I can’t continue this charade. I’m sorry” – A prominent Manchester City player is becoming completely discontented with Pep Guardiola and IS LEAVING the club in the upcoming January transfer window
Man City has revealed Kalvin Phillips’ transfer stance, with interested teams in for a surprise.
Kalvin Phillips has struggled for regular playing time since joining Manchester City from Leeds United in the summer of 2022, and the Premier League champions are willing to let him go in January.
Despite the fact that the England midfielder has only started five games in his 15 months at the Etihad, Manchester City wants to make a profit on Kalvin Phillips.
The Premier League champions are aware that a number of clubs are interested in signing the former Leeds favourite when the transfer market opens in January and have set a £50 million asking price. That is an £8 million premium over the £42 million City paid the Yorkshire club in the summer of 2022.
In the transfer market, City are merciless negotiators. When West Ham expressed interest in Phillips, they were willing to let him go for less than £40 million.
However, the athlete told Etihad officials that he still wanted to show Pep Guardiola that he was capable of doing a job for the Treble winners. However, City now wants to profit from the bidding war for his signature.
Phillips has made three appearances for England this season, and he failed to impress Guardiola when midfield lynchpin Rodri was recently suspended.
Phillips is now ready to move on in order to secure a spot in Gareth Southgate’s squad for next summer’s European Championships.
Newcastle are considering their options after losing £55 million signing Sandro Tonali for 10 months after the Italian acknowledged to violating gambling laws in his own country. The Toon will have no trouble meeting City’s asking price.
However, Newcastle will be up against Liverpool, Juventus, West Ham, and Aston Villa for the player, who will turn 28 in December.
Phillips has made only 25 appearances for City, with only two starts coming in the Premier League.
