Kalvin Phillips will require Manchester City to pay £30 million for his transfer

Reports suggest that Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips could be leaving the club permanently this summer.

According to a Daily Mail report, Manchester City is open to selling Phillips for around £30 million, a significant drop from the £45 million they paid for him initially.

After a disappointing spell at Manchester City, Phillips was loaned to West Ham United to rediscover his form. However, the loan has not been successful, and his performances have been subpar.

With West Ham looking to replace him with Mandela Keita, Manchester City should consider selling Phillips permanently and investing in a quality defensive midfielder to support Rodri.

Kalvin Phillips Needs a Fresh Start

Phillips, once considered one of the best defensive midfielders during his time at Leeds United, needs a fresh start away from Manchester City. He was a vital player for both club and country in the past.

Desperate to secure a spot in England’s lineup for the European Championships, Phillips’ lackluster performances make it unlikely. With limited opportunities and little impact at West Ham, his future is uncertain.

It remains to be seen if any club will take a gamble on Phillips for £30 million, considering his recent form. Manchester City must prioritize adding quality and depth in midfield, potentially replacing Phillips with an upgrade.
