According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Juventus wants to sign Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City. Pep Guardiola indicated before that he will let Phillips leave the club if the right offer comes for the English midfielder. Juventus has made an offer to sign Phillips from Man City. This is the latest Man City transfer news from Fabrizio Romano. City bought Phillips from Leeds United for £42million in 2022. After signing for City, he had a horrible run and lost his place in the team. As he was not getting game time, his position in the English international team also became questionable.

It looks like the next destination for Kalvin Phillips could be Italy with Juventus keen on signing the midfielder. Although it is quite early to say as the negotiations are in the early stages, it would still be a good move for Kalvin if he leaves for Juventus. The Bianconeri is a big club and moving from Man City to Juventus will not be seen as a demotion for Kalvin. If he can play well for the Old Lady, then he will surely give answers to his critics who questioned his place in the England team.
The offer on the table for Man City from Juventus is for a loan deal in January. However, there will also be a buy option according to Fabrizio Romano which would see Kalvin Phillips moving to the Old Lady in a permanent move that Phillips and City would want. Juventus is also ready to pay a loan fee to City for Phillips. The negotiation is on for the buy option which Manchester City wants to be mandatory. In the coming weeks, fans can expect more Man City transfer news on Kalvin Phillips as he prepares to leave the club.
