Moving quickly this off-season, Manchester City are reportedly preparing an offer for Leeds United and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
Despite winning the Premier League title this past season, Manchester City are not wasting time when it comes to improving their squad.
With the signings of Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland already confirmed, the next order of business for the blue half of Manchester is bolstering the midfield.
While City have reportedly long identified who fits their criteria, now they may be able to advance with negotiations.
Man City To Move For Phillips
Having already closed on other positional needs, Manchester City are preparing to table an offer for Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips, according to the Athletic.
Reports suggest a bid will soon be on the way, following the completion of the 26-year-old’s international commitments with England.
Phillips has been a target of City for some time, but with Rodri in need of competition, the incentive to sign him has increased after Fernandinho’s unexpected departure from the Etihad Stadium.
City are said to believe a figure between £45million and £50m will be sufficient for Leeds to part with Phillips.
