Kalvin Phillips transfer news is something that’s set to take over the headlines this summer. The midfielder has had a torrid time at Man City and looks likely to leave this summer.
Phillips joined Pep Guardiola’s team last summer for £42 million. It looked to be a positive step in the career of the English international.
However, the move hasn’t turned out the way he would have wanted. He’s featured just 17 times in all competitions, a total of 407 minutes. In those 407 minutes he’s not had a single goal or assist. This had led to talks about his future already.

Speaking about the player, Pep said:
“Players have to earn my confidence – all of them, not just Kalvin.
“It depends on the players.
“At the end we’re here, I try to be honest with the questions and my feelings.
“My feelings sometimes change. But at the end it belongs to the players, they have to convince themselves and the team and not because I say something.
“Teams change a lot and players for previous seasons who were incredibly important but this season less important. It’s how they perform, many things can happen.”
On the Phillips transfer news and his future at the Premier League champions, Pep said:
“We will see at the end of the season [what happens]. We’ll sit with the players. Maybe they want more minutes, or maybe they are not happy with the situation. But right now I’m not going to discuss anything.”
Kalvin Phillips Transfer News: Where Will Phillips End Up?
Phillips transfer news suggests he’ll have lots of options this summer if he is to leave. He’s an England international, who still gets selected for squads each time, and a proven Premier League player.
During his time at Leeds United he made over 234 appearances, helping them out of the Championship and into the Premier League.
With that in mind, it’s no wonder the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are eyeing up a move for him.
Jürgen Klopp’s men are the favourites to sign Phillips. Bookmakers are pricing Liverpool at 5/4 to sign the defensive midfielder.
Newly rich and Champions League bound Newcastle United are keen to improve their squad this summer. They’re another team that bookmakers expect to be in the race to sign Phillips.
