Kalvin Phillips has been linked with a summer move away from Manchester City, with RB Leipzig and AS Roma interested in him.
Kalvin Phillips was loaned out halfway through the season, but he had a disappointing spell at West Ham United. According to a report from The Sun, the English midfielder is now determined to leave the Premier League champions permanently, and he would be open to joining foreign clubs as well. Clubs like RB Leipzig and AS Roma have been linked with the player.
The England international midfielder has not been at his best since his departure from Leeds United, and it will be interesting to see if he can secure a move away from Manchester City that helps him get back to his best.
He needs regular game time to recapture his form and confidence. A move away from the Premier League could be ideal for him. He has been linked with the return to his former club Leeds United as well.
Phillips was regarded as one of the finest defensive midfielders in the country during his time at Leeds, and there is no doubt that there is a quality player in there. If AS Roma or RB Leipzig can help him get back to his best, they could have a top class player on their hands.
Kalvin Phillips could be available on a bargain
Phillips’s situation means that he could be available for a reasonable price this summer. So, there is a bargain signing that can be pulled off. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. There is no doubt that he has the quality to thrive in the Bundesliga as well as Serie A.
Manchester City will look to get rid of their fringe players this summer and improve their squad. Selling Phillips will boost their transfer budget, and they will be able to bring in a more capable backup option to Rodri.
The Spanish international has been an indispensable asset for Manchester City, but they are lacking quality depth in that position. Pep Guardiola needs to rotate Rodri more often, and signing a quality defensive midfielder will be a priority for the defending champions.
