Kalvin Phillips expressed his discontent with his current position at Manchester City. The Englishman suggested a potential exit from the club during the European Championship qualifier against Italy (3:1). He emphasized his ambition, stating, „I am very ambitious. I want to be on the football field as much as possible.“ Phillips shared with „Channel 4 Sport,“ „I understand that I haven’t had the opportunity to do so over the past year and a half.“
He said it was „something I need to think about. Hopefully my chance will come“. However, the 27-year-old concluded by adding meaningfully, „We’ll see“.
Phillips was an unknown quantity in the starting eleven in the Euro qualifiers. However, the defensive midfielder has only been allowed to make one appearance from the starting lineup this season during Guardiola’s tenure at Manchester City – in the third round of the Caracas Cup against Newcastle United (0:1).
In the Premier League, Phillips has made just three appearances as a wildcard in eight league games so far. The England international has played just 70 minutes.
Phillips moved to Manchester from Leeds United in 2022 for just under €50 million. However, the 27-year-old hasn’t really come into his own.
Bayern could be interested in Calvin Phillips
According to British media, this is one of the reasons why a winter transfer is being discussed. The transfer could also take the form of a loan. So will FC Bayern make a move? It is well known that the Munich club is looking for a so-called „number six goalkeeper“. Phillips has reportedly been the center of attention for the record-breaking club.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Bayern Munich seem to have abandoned their bid for Joao Palhinha due to concerns over his health. Furthermore, the Portuguese midfielder’s price tag is on the rise, especially after he extended his contract with Fulham FC. However, Calvin Phillips may not head straight to Bayern as there could be competition. Newcastle United have reportedly shown a keen interest in the 27-year-old English player.
