Is Kalvin Phillips’ challenging stint at Manchester City nearing an end? Bayern Munich is contemplating a January transfer for the English midfielder, who has fallen out of favor at his current club.
What happened? Despite being given an opportunity to showcase his skills in the absence of Rodri against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup, Phillips failed to make a strong impression, putting in a lackluster performance.
His playing time has been minimal this season, with just 70 minutes across three Premier League substitute appearances, indicating his exclusion from Pep Guardiola’s immediate plans. This situation is increasing the likelihood of a transfer in the January window.
The broader perspective: According to The Sun, Bayern Munich is closely monitoring Phillips’ situation and is considering a surprise move for him either in the upcoming winter transfer window or next summer.
Thomas Tuchel believes he can bring out the best in the player and might explore a loan deal, similar to their approach with Joao Cancelo in a previous winter transfer window.
Manchester City had communicated their willingness to let Phillips depart, but he chose to stay at the Etihad, determined to compete for a starting position.
