salernitana Juventus in the race to sign Kalvin Phillips after they lost Sandro Tonali.
Phillips is looking to leave Manchester City on loan in January to secure more playing time and improve his chances of representing England at Euro 2024.
Given that they would be without Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli due to suspensions, Juventus sees this as an opportunity to bring in a top midfield player for the second half of the season. Phillips is regarded as a significant addition to Juventus.
But Newcastle United is reportedly interested in signing the former Leeds United star as well, according to Football Italia.
According to the source, the Magpies are looking to recruit a new midfield player in light of the suspension of Sandro Tonali, who was their main summer acquisition and is now out for the remainder of the year.
Says Juventus FC
Newcastle United is considered a direct opponent by City, which could work to our advantage in this battle.
The Premier League winners could think it safer for us to sign the midfielder for the second part of the season rather than Newcastle, given that we aren’t even in the Champions League.
