The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that former Leeds United midfielder Phillips will leave City. TuttoJuve has noted Pep Guardiola’s recent comments about being sorry for not using the midfielder enough.

Newcastle over Everton for Kalvin Phillips

In my view, Everton are not going to be able to sign Kalvin Phillips in the January transfer window. I believe that the midfielder, rated highly by Declan Rice, would prefer a move to Newcastle United.

Yes, Everton are a big and established club in the Premier League. But, the Toffees are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

Moreover, in recent years, Everton have not done much of note. They are basically an also-ran club that tend to stave off relegation in the final weeks of the season.

Newcastle finished in the Premier League top four last season and are playing in the UEFA Champions League now. Under PIF, the Magpies are going places.
