Manchester City loaned Kalvin Phillips to West Ham United in hopes that he would rediscover his form, but his time at the club has been a disaster so far. Fabrizio Romano has provided an update stating that Phillips is not expected to make a permanent move to West Ham and links to other clubs have also been dismissed. There have been conflicting reports about a potential buyout clause for Phillips at West Ham, but it seems unlikely now that City and the club will be discussing a permanent move this summer.

Phillips’ lack of form is set to cost Manchester City millions, as he has struggled to make an impact at both City and West Ham. His confidence seems to be at an all-time low, and he is unrecognizable from the player he was at Leeds United. City may struggle to recoup a significant portion of the £45 million they paid to sign him due to his poor performances. West Ham are unlikely to want him permanently given his current form, and City may have trouble finding a buyer willing to pay a significant amount for Phillips.

Fabrizio Romano’s update suggests that Phillips’ future is uncertain, with no concrete decisions made about his next move. It seems that Leeds United and Fulham, who were previously linked with the midfielder, are not currently pursuing a deal. Phillips’ struggles highlight the challenges of loan moves and the impact of lack of playing time on a player’s form and market value. City will need to carefully consider their options for Phillips moving forward as they look to recoup some of their investment in the midfielder.
