“I want to Leave” Pep Guardiola don’t take me as one of his players anyone, he keeps benching me for an Academy player- £42 million Manchester City player WANTS TO terminate his contract with City
The player has now told Man City that he wants to leave in 2024, and talks have begun.
For now, Kalvin Phillips has told Manchester City that he wants to leave, and talks with Newcastle have begun. But there is a catch.
That’s what TEAMtalk says.
What’s going on with Kalvin Phillips at Manchester City these days? Let’s look…
Kalvin Phillips has a problem.
This is what we know: the England player has asked to leave, and Pep Guardiola will not stop him.
But, even though talks about a loan deal with Newcastle have begun, the Citizens and the Magpies are fighting over one issue.
The TEAMtalk story says that Manchester City wants Newcastle to agree to buy Phillips at the end of the season, but Eddie Howe’s team would rather just get him on loan.
We can see why Newcastle would feel that way because the Manchester City No. 4 hasn’t played much football lately. Since his £45 million move from Leeds United in July 2022, he’s only started two Premier League games.

So, it’s clear that Howe wants to get a better look at Phillips before making a final deal. The Citizens are rumoured to want £40 million for the Yorkshireman.
Juventus wants to sign the 28-year-old player too.
Calciomercato even said that Phillips had decided to join the Italian giants over the phone, but that story has since died down.
Newcastle should be able to get a straight loan from Manchester City.
We can see why Manchester City wants an opportunity to buy that has to be included.
But that would cost a set amount of money, which could limit how much Manchester City can make this summer if Phillips does well.
If the Leeds-born star gets back to his old level while on loan at Newcastle, more teams will likely want to sign him in the summer, which could lead to a bidding war.
Make sure you keep an eye on this because Phillips’ story could go in any direction.
