Liverpool Joins Race for Out of Favor Manchester City Midfielder

According to a recent report from 90min, the Reds have joined a growing list of clubs expressing interest in providing an escape for the English midfielder from his limited playing time at Etihad.

Despite joining Manchester City just a year and a half ago, Phillips, aged 27, has found opportunities on the field scarce, having started in only four Premier League games under Pep Guardiola.

As the European Championship looms next summer, Phillips, acknowledging the need for more playing minutes, is contemplating a mid-season exit from Etihad.

While Eddie Howe’s Newcastle is considered the frontrunner for Phillips, especially with the need for cover due to the suspension of Sandro Tonali, Liverpool has now entered the fray. Recent reports indicate that Liverpool has made inquiries about the possibility of securing the services of the talented midfielder.

The dynamics of this transfer saga suggest that Phillips is exploring options to ensure his active participation in Gareth Southgate’s plans for the upcoming European Championship. Liverpool, alongside other interested clubs, remains in the hunt for the signature of Kalvin Phillips, making this a noteworthy storyline to follow in the upcoming transfer window.
