Director at European giants rules out moves for Henderson and Phillips

The future of the England duo, Jordan Henderson and Kalvin Phillips, is a hot topic right now, and one major European club has ruled out potential moves for either player during the January transfer window. According to Sky Sports, Juventus is among several clubs interested in Manchester City’s Phillips but has not made an official move for the midfielder yet. Henderson has also been linked to the European giants as they look to add a midfielder to their squad, but Juventus’ Sporting Director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has ruled out a transfer for either player when asked about the former Liverpool captain. Giuntoli stated, “We have decided to close the market, we won’t sign any player. We want to trust our players; this is our choice at the moment.”

This news means that there are fewer options for the England duo to choose from as they continue to contemplate their futures. Both players are currently looking to leave their current clubs, and their places in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for this summer’s European Championship in Germany are also up in the air. As such, they will be looking to catch the Three Lions coach’s eye over the second half of the campaign.

The uncertainty surrounding their future clubs and national team selection makes this a crucial period for Henderson and Phillips. With their ambitions of securing a move and solidifying their spots in the England squad, the next few months will be pivotal for the duo.

Additionally, this news could have ripple effects for both Manchester City and Liverpool. Should Phillips and Henderson not secure moves to other clubs, it could impact the dynamics of both teams and potentially contribute to the reshaping of their midfield setups and overall strategies. The resolution of this issue will undoubtedly attract attention and could have significant implications for multiple parties involved.
