Manchester City and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips is facing a tough time as he struggles to integrate himself into Manchester City’s squad and West Ham. Despite being on loan at West Ham for the 2023/24 season, his performances have been less than convincing. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano believes it is unlikely for Phillips to stay at West Ham permanently and rejects claims of interest from other English clubs.

Rumours about Phillips’ future are already circulating ahead of the summer transfer window. Romano indicates that a permanent stay at West Ham is unlikely. Many believe that a return to Leeds United could be the best option for Phillips, especially if they secure promotion to the Premier League. Manchester City will likely have to sell Phillips at a loss compared to their initial investment in 2022, with reports suggesting a £30 million transfer valuation.

Overall, it seems uncertain where Phillips will end up next season. While rumours linking him to various clubs are premature, a return to Leeds United could be a possible solution. Manchester City will likely have to part ways with Phillips at a lower valuation than what they initially invested in him in 2022.
