Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Philips is one of the most sought-after midfielders this January. Several teams like Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Manchester United have met with his agent. There is an enormous possibility that Pep Guardiola will sanction a six-month loan deal for the England international. Now, amid the reports, Italian giants Juventus has also joined the race. The report also claims that Juve sporting director Cristiano Guintoli will hold a meeting with the Man City counterparts as soon as possible, and could take place this week.
It is because the Premier League giants leave for Saudi Arabia for the FIFA Club World Cup. Kalvin Phillips is also open to a loan or a permanent exit as he aims to make the England squad for 2024 Euros. Their star midfielder, Nicolò Fagioli, is serving a seven-month suspension for violating betting rules. Notably, it has resulted in the Italian giants jumping back into the market for a midfielder.
