In January, Newcastle United want to sign 27-year-old Kalvin Phillips, a midfielder for Manchester City, on a loan.
Football Insider reports that Newcastle United is eager to have Kalvin Phillips join their team. The 27-year-old midfielder wants to leave Manchester City in order to get regular first-team playing time because he is far down the team’s hierarchy.
services during 2022’s summer Under Pep Guardiola, a significant role was anticipated for the 27-year-old.
However, things haven’t gone as planned with the transfer. Throughout his 15-month tenure at the club, he has had very few opportunities and has failed to gain the faith of the Spanish management.
He wanted to compete for a spot in the starting lineup, even though City was prepared to let him go in the summer. But over the last few months, not much has changed. Despite playing only 168 minutes this season, he has made six appearances on the field. The 27-year-old is seeking a transfer out of the team as a result.
In an effort to hold onto his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the 2024 European Championship in Germany, Phillips desires consistent first-team play. The 27-year-old is much sought after, but City won’t allow him to go cheaply.
Newcastle United is among the teams interested in signing him, and they hope to do so through a short-term loan arrangement. Due to Sandro Tonali’s 10-month ban, the Magpies will need to find a replacement midfield player. Tonali was their big summer acquisition.
Due to his unlawful betting activities, Tonali will not be appearing until the beginning of the following season due to his ban. Newcastle is thus trying to sign a substitute. Although the Magpies are interested in Phillips’ talents, they would want to bring him in on a temporary loan arrangement due to FFP concerns.
According to the report, City won’t obstruct him, and the player is eager to join Newcastle. Moving abroad will benefit the player as well as his parent club. Phillips will play a significant amount of first team time, and an outstanding loan period might boost his reputation and spark a summer bidding war.
