Kalvin Phillips, the Manchester City midfielder, is exploring potential moves away from the Etihad, with Newcastle and Juventus expressing interest.
Despite joining City from Leeds last summer, Phillips has found limited playing time, prompting his desire for a change.
Before committing to a transfer, whether permanent or on loan, Phillips is seeking guarantees regarding his playing time.
Newcastle and Juventus are currently the frontrunners for the England international’s signature.
However, Phillips is determined to avoid another spell on the bench and is actively seeking assurances about his role in any new team.
The Telegraph suggests that Juventus might have an advantage in this regard, given their current absence of key midfielders like Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli.
While Newcastle has midfield options like Bruno Guimares and Joelinton, potentially limiting Phillips’ minutes, a move to Turin could offer more playing opportunities.
