Fabrizio Romano: Premier League promoted Mapwich Town signs Manchester City midfielder Phillips on loan without buyout

Some players are not suitable for the big teams, because they do not have excellent psychological quality, and perhaps former British star Phillips is one of them.

According to the latest report from Italy, Manchester City's 28-year-old English midfielder Phillips has joined Premier League promoted Majpswich on loan.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Kalvin Phillips has joined Premier League promoted Maipswich on loan from Manchester City for a year, and the deal between the two clubs has been completed without a buyout clause and could be signed later.

Phillips came through Leeds United's academy and was promoted to the first team in 2015-16 before becoming England's main midfielder thanks to his impressive performances in the Premier League, but after joining Manchester City from Leeds United for a fee of €48 million in the summer window of 2022, he was reduced to a fringe player due to fierce competition within the squad, resulting in a lack of self-confidence. Phillips spent €7 million on loan at West Ham United in the second half of last season, making eight Premier League appearances, starting only three, and losing a lot of points to the team, so the Hammers are reluctant to buy Phillips.

The 28-year-old Phillips, who is 1.79 meters tall and plays in the midfield position, can also play as a midfielder and central defender, has a contract with Manchester City until 2026, with a German transfer price of 26 million euros and an annual salary of 7.8 million pounds before tax at Manchester City.
