Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips is reportedly a target for Turkey’s Galatasaray. The Premier League champions are seeking a new club for the 28-year-old midfielder, who has struggled since his £45 million move from Leeds United in July 2022. Phillips’ loan spell with West Ham last season was unsuccessful, and City have received few inquiries about him this summer.

While Everton has shown initial interest, Phillips is open to reviving his career abroad. Clubs like Roma, RB Leipzig, and RB Salzburg have also been linked with moves for him. Galatasaray, the Turkish champions, are now in the race after their £12.6 million bid for Manchester United’s Scott McTominay was rejected.

The Turkish side, set to compete in the Champions League this season, finished last season with 102 points in 38 games. During City’s pre-season tour, manager Pep Guardiola used Phillips as a center-back in a friendly against Barcelona, preferring 19-year-old Nico O’Reilly as a holding midfielder. Phillips had a penalty saved in the shootout after the game ended 2-2.

Here is the season highlight video of Kalvin Phillips.
