Fulham are now ready to make an offer for Manchester City No.4 Kalvin Phillips – as a replacement for Joao Palhinha.
That is according to talkSPORT.
So, what is the latest on Kalvin Phillips at Manchester City? Let’s take a look…
What’s the story?
Well – according to ESPN – the England international is considering his future at the Etihad Stadium due to a lack of playing time.
Phillips – who recently said “I want minutes” – has only made two Premier League starts since arriving from Leeds in a £45m deal back in July 2022.
Now – according to talkSPORT – Fulham are ready to offer him a fresh start.
It is said that the Cottagers have earmarked Phillips as a replacement for Palhinha, with Bayern Munich expected to make another move for the £20m Portugal international in January.
The Fulham No.26 signed a new contract at Craven Cottage after missing out on a move to the Allianz Arena in September, but talkSPORT believe he remains keen on joining the German giants.
If Palhinha did depart west London, it sounds as if Marco Silva would immediately make a bid for Phillips.
Kalvin Phillips can do better than Fulham if he leaves Manchester City
With all due respect to Fulham, Phillips can do better.
A story from the Northern Echo claims that Newcastle will bid for the 27-year-old if he becomes available in January.
According to Graeme Bailey of 90min, Manchester City are willing to sell – or loan – Phillips in January, so a move to St James’ Park, where UEFA Champions League football is on the table, could happen.
Furthermore, a story from Sky Germany claimed that Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Juventus are all looking at the Leeds-born maestro.
Therefore, it would feel a little underwhelming if Phillips ended up at Fulham, when a number of European giants are supposedly keen on his signature.
