Newcastle in contention for Man City star with rival club interest, says transfer expert

Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is reportedly eyeing a potential January transfer to Newcastle United or Juventus.

Fabrizio Romano, in his Daily Briefing column, suggested that the 27-year-old, who has struggled for playing time at City since joining from Leeds United, is looking for more regular first-team opportunities.

Despite limited playing time, the England international enjoyed a successful campaign with Pep Guardiola's side earning winners' medals in the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup during their historic treble-winning season.

Phillips has not rushed to make a decision, but his potential move is one to keep an eye on, especially as the Magpies' involvement in the Champions League could influence their transfer plans.

“Speaking to sources in the last two or three days, Kalvin Phillips’ future is still not decided, because they want to take their time. It’s a similar situation to Jadon Sancho, because clubs have to wait a bit longer before being certain of their plans,” Romano said.

“Phillips will likely have multiple options – Newcastle is one of them, but there will also be other opportunities. Juventus want a midfielder and are aware of Phillips’ situation, but they have not started concrete talks yet – they have not contacted Phillips’ agent, they are just aware of the situation.”
