“I have consented”; the former Leeds United player must “make a decision,” and Newcastle is “prepared to move quickly.”
This former Leeds United great is the subject of a lot of interest.
Kalvin Phillips, a former Leeds United player, is still a hot topic in transfer rumors. The midfield player faces a difficult decision about his future because his limited playing time with Manchester City may make it harder for him to earn a berth in the England squad.
Phillips made a significant statement following the Three Lions’ victory against Italy on Tuesday, which may completely unravel his transfer scandal.
“I am aware that I must compete and play games every weekend. Over the coming months, I will need to make a decision regarding [my future]. Gareth Southgate just states that he must play games in order for him to maintain his position. That is my desired outcome. On that, I concur with Gareth.
Although Phillips’ current deal at the Etihad has five years remaining, there is now a lot of interest in him, and many are willing to see him leave either in January or the summer of next year. In a recent interview with the BBC’s Football Gossip Daily, Luke Edwards of The Telegraph stated that Phillips’ return to Leeds would be the “ideal move” and that Everton is “definitely interested” in signing him.
The Northern Echo claims that Eddie Howe’s team is “ready to make a quick move” for the City player in the new year, adding to the growing body of information linking the midfielder to Newcastle United. Newcastle will be “ready to strike” for Phillips, assuming he keeps failing to make the cut under Pep Guardiola, either for a long-term transfer or an initial loan with a buyout option.
Additionally, 90min reports that Bayern Munich has “made contact” with Man City regarding the possibility of bringing Phillips in once the January transfer market starts. Palhinha of Fulham is still the Bundesliga team’s first target, but as the transfer deadline draws near, they are considering their possibilities.
