Kalvin Phillips in line for huge transfer to Euro giants with Premier League sides behind in £45m race for Man City star


JUVENTUS are leading the race to sign England midfielder Kalvin Phillips next month.  

The Manchester City bit-part player knows he needs a move in the January window to keep his Three Lions Euro 2024 dream alive.

There is plenty of interest in the £45million former Leeds man. 

But the Italian giants are showing the most — and Phillips is interested in trying his luck abroad.

Phillips, 27, turned down the chance to go on loan in the summer but has just one start this season in the EFL Cup. 

His chances of action will not improve either with John Stones close to a return from injury.

Juventus, though, will face “intense” competition for Phillips’ signature as Newcastle are also interested.

In fact, the Magpies have had a boost in their hopes of landing the England international.

The midfielder is seen as the ideal option to replace the suspended Sandro Tonali.

Tonali was slapped with a 10-month ban in October due to betting breaches.

It has been reported that City would not stand in Phillips’ way if he decided to move to Newcastle.

West Ham and Tottenham have also expressed interest ahead of the January transfer window.

Phillips has amassed a total of 29 appearances since his arrival from Leeds last year.
