Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has instructed the club to offload Tottenham Hotspur trade target Kalvin Phillips in January.
Kalvin Phillips is expected to depart Manchester City in January, with Pep Guardiola willing to let him go as soon as 2024.
According to the Daily Star, City will now allow Phillips to depart the club in January.
Phillips cost City £45 million in the summer of 2022, enticing him away from Leeds United as competition for Rodri.
Phillips, on the other hand, has yet to establish himself as a first-team regular at City, and has only started when Rodri is absent.
Pep Guardiola is prepared to fire Kalvin Phillips.
Phillips‘ time at City has come to an end, especially with Euro 2024 on the horizon.
According to the Daily Star, City are ready to sell Phillips during the January transfer window.
Guardiola is said to have urged the City administration to let Phillips go.
City is reportedly willing to let Phillips go on loan provided an interested team pays his £150,000-a-week salary in full.
With City looking set to say farewell one way or another, a permanent transfer for the summer would also be required.
Fabrizio Romano adds that all parties now fully expect Phillips to depart City, with a’very likely’ transfer.
In my opinion, Tottenham Hotspur would be wise to sign Phillips.
Phillips will have several Premier League suitors, including Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham will look for a midfielder to replace Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in January, according to the Mirror.
Phillips, like summer arrivals James Maddison and Brennan Johnson, would fit the requirements for Tottenham, especially considering his eligibility for homegrown quotas.
According to The Telegraph, Tottenham’s incoming technical director Johan Lange is a major fan of Phillips.
Phillips would be an excellent challenge for Yves Bissouma as a holding midfielder in Ange Postecoglou‘s system.
Tottenham’s willingness to pay the money City demands remains to be seen, but Spurs should be in the running for Phillips.
