Calvin Phillips, the Manchester City midfielder, is facing a possible departure. According to a report from British media outlet Manchester Evening News, several clubs have expressed strong interest in the English midfielder, including Ipswich, Fulham and Everton. Since joining Manchester City, Phillips has been trying to establish himself in the team, but unfortunately, he has never been able to get a stable position. City, for their part, are also hoping to send him away this summer in search of a new midfield setup.
Although Phillips didn't perform up to expectations during his loan spell at West Ham United last season, it hasn't affected his appeal in the transfer market. A number of clubs still see him as a target for reinforcements, eyeing his potential and strength. For Manchester City, they preferred to let Phillips leave on a permanent transfer in order to free up more space and resources for the team. However, considering the practicalities, they may also accept a loan offer with a buyout option to allow for more options and flexibility in the future.
For Phillips himself, his primary goal is to be able to play more and improve his strength and performance. He knows that this goal will be difficult to achieve if he remains at Manchester City. As a result, he is also actively considering his future and seeking a new environment that will allow him more playing opportunities. Regardless of which club he ultimately chooses, he hopes to be able to show his best form and contribute to the team in the new season.
