Manchester City are considering offers for Kalvin Phillips, who is eager to return to Leeds United. Phillips’ future at Manchester City beyond the current season is uncertain, with the player seeking more playing time to catch the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the European Championships. A move to West Ham in January did not yield the desired results for Phillips, who has struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup at Manchester City.
Phillips’ return to Leeds United during the upcoming summer transfer window is a possibility if the club secures promotion back to the Premier League. The midfielder is reportedly keen on rejoining his former club, with West Ham United coaches convinced that Phillips is focused on playing for Leeds. Despite a high-profile move to Manchester City in 2022, Phillips has struggled to establish himself in Pep Guardiola’s system due to the competition in midfield.
Manchester City may consider loaning Phillips out for the 2024/25 season to ensure he gets regular playing time and regains his form. With Rodri excelling in defensive midfield for City, Phillips has found it challenging to secure a regular spot in the lineup. A move back to Leeds United could provide Phillips with the opportunity to reignite his career and fulfill his potential.
