Man City in Talks with Juventus for Kalvin Phillips Loan Move
Man City has initiated discussions with Juventus regarding a potential loan move for Kalvin Phillips in January, according to talkSPORT. Phillips has only played for 89 minutes in the Premier League this season and is expected to leave the Etihad next month.
Interest from Newcastle and Manchester United
Newcastle and Manchester United have shown interest in Phillips, with the possibility of him staying in England. However, Juventus, the reigning Premier League and European champions, have entered into talks for a potential move abroad.
While Phillips is reportedly open to the move, negotiations may hinge on the inclusion of a buy clause in the deal.
Man City’s Search for a Replacement Midfielder
Man City is actively seeking a replacement midfielder for January and has already been exploring potential options. One possible incoming player is Joao Palhinha, the £60 million-rated Fulham star. Liverpool and Bayern Munich are also interested in Palhinha, and if he were to join Bayern, it could pave the way for Joshua Kimmich to make a move to the Premier League.
Man City has shown interest in Kimmich, who has recently been searching for an agent, indicating a potential desire to play abroad.
Phillips’ Future at Man City
It appears likely that Phillips will leave Man City after failing to secure a spot in the team since his £42 million transfer from Leeds in 2022.
