Kalvin Phillips' move to Manchester City has not been as successful as he and the club had hoped. The Englishman has only played 216 minutes so far this season, and with a lack of game time, his place in England's Euro 2024 squad may be under threat.
Now, according to Calciomercato, Juventus are prepared to offer Phillips a chance to revive his career with a loan move. The Italian giants are just two points behind Inter at the top of the table and are in need of cover in the midfield after the departures of Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagiolo.
Should a move for Phillips fail to materialise, Juventus may turn their attention to Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The Dane attracted interest from Atletico Madrid and Fulham in the summer, but with the current injury crisis at Spurs, it is unlikely they would consider offers for his services.
Meanwhile, Phillips could be in line for a return to the starting XI for City's midweek clash against Aston Villa, as Rodri picked up his fifth yellow card in their dramatic 3-3 draw with Tottenham on Sunday. The draw saw Pep Guardiola's side drop to third place and fall three points behind league leaders Arsenal, and it also marked the first time since April 2017 that City have failed to win in three consecutive league games.
