Kalvin Phillips’ departure from Manchester City is an open secret. From the Etihad they are looking for a way out for their player, who Pep Guardiola does not have. But it does not seem like an easy matter, although there is talk of a transfer. According to According to The Guardian, the citizens demand a high outlay to loan Phillips for half a season: 8 million euros.
“Clubs hoping to sign Kalvin Phillips are waiting for Manchester City to drop their demands for an 8 million loan fee. “Crystal Palace, Newcastle and West Ham are following the midfielder, while there is also interest from Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid and Juventus,” they say.
Among the candidates, which are several, is Barcelona. The Blaugrana club seeks to strengthen the midfield in the winter market. Deco considers the incorporation of a midfielder essential since Oriol Romeu has not met expectations. The one chosen by the culé sports director is Kalvin Phillips. At Barcelona they are aware that the operation is very complicated, but they are going to try.

“I don’t know what will happen with Kalvin Phillips. He has a good character, I regret not having lined him up,” Guardiola declared just a few weeks ago. This season he has not started any game, making only four appearances in the Premier League. At 28 he will try to turn his career around outside the Etihad…
