Reports suggest that Manchester City may be willing to incur a significant financial loss in order to allow Kalvin Phillips to leave in the upcoming summer transfer window, with Fulham and Leeds United expressing interest in the midfielder.
Having departed Leeds United for Manchester City prior to the 2022/23 season for a fee of around £45 million, Phillips has struggled to secure a regular spot in the team, eventually being loaned out to West Ham in January. Unfortunately, his time at West Ham has also been difficult, with limited game time and notable errors.
Following an incident where Phillips was caught making an offensive gesture towards West Ham fans, speculation has arisen that a return to Leeds United could be on the cards if they secure promotion back to the Premier League, with a reported offer of £30 million being on the table.
According to reports from Football Insider, Manchester City are prepared to accept a substantial loss on Phillips in order to facilitate his departure, as his value has decreased significantly. The club had hoped that the loan to West Ham would increase his worth, but they are now bracing themselves for a lower transfer fee.
Additionally, Fulham are rumored to be considering a move for Phillips in the summer transfer window, as they look to strengthen their midfield options. With interest also remaining from Leeds United, a potential deal will be contingent on various factors such as promotion for the Yorkshire club and financial considerations.
As the transfer window approaches, Phillips’ future remains uncertain, with both Manchester City and potential suitors preparing for negotiations to secure his services.
