Rudy Galetti reported earlier this week that Newcastle and European champion Manchester City are still in discussions about Kalvin Phillips’ potential loan signing before the January transfer window ends. The Magpies prevailed because Juventus, who were also in the race, recently acknowledged that Phillips is no longer a transfer target.
Additionally, it has been stated that Man City wants to add a £40 million obligation to buy clause to the player’s contract in addition to the £7.5 million loan fee. In the meantime, head coach Pep Guardiola stated in October that the former Leeds United midfielder’s January departure will be allowed to go through.This season, the England international has made ten appearances for the treble-winning team and has only played 319 minutes overall. By bringing the 28-year-old to St. James’ Park until the end of the season, Newcastle might give the player a career lifeline and make up for the loss of Sandro Tonali, who is out due to an extended suspension.
