Kalvin Phillips, a Manchester City midfielder, has chosen between Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus.
According to The Daily Mail, Phillips was interested in joining Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the summer of 2023.
So, what is the latest on Newcastle United and Kalvin Phillips? Let us investigate.
Kalvin Phillips prefers Juventus over Newcastle United.
According to The Daily Mail, Newcastle United are interested in signing Premier League opponent Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips during the summer transfer season.
According to the source, Newcastle is one among the clubs that have “registered interest” in the former Leeds United midfielder.
Phillips, on the other hand, prefers Juventus to Newcastle. According to the source, the England international midfielder is open to going to the Italian club and adding “extra qualities” to his game in order to improve his prospects of representing the Three Lions at the Euro 2024 championships.
The Daily Mail has noted that despite Newcastle’s interest in Phillips, “the chance to play in Turin under Massimo Allegri appeals”.
Juventus want to sign the 28-year-old midfielder on loan, which appeals to him.
According to the Daily Mail, Phillips is open to joining City’s Premier League title rivals Liverpool in the summer of 2023.
Liverpool are allegedly still interested in him, but I doubt the Citizens will let the midfielder go for Anfield. Phillips has also been linked to Arsenal.
Newcastle wins!
Kalvin Phillips would be an excellent signing for Newcastle United, in my opinion. Sandro Tonali is suspended, and Manchester City midfielder David Silva may easily replace him in Eddie Howe’s starting lineup.
So Phillips’ selection of Juventus over Newcastle is a setback for the Magpies. They must now find someone as excellent and capable as the City midfielder, who was praised as “a formidable talent” on the club’s official website by City Director of Football Txiki Begiristain.
