Compared to João Palhinha (28), who extended his contract with FC Fulham but is still considered a candidate for Munich, Phillips would be the cheaper option. His market value, which was still 50 million euros when he moved to Manchester, has almost halved over the last few months. In the Premier League update at the beginning of October it fell to 28 million euros.

However, Phillips has little match practice to show for it. After 21 games lasting 593 minutes in the previous season, there are five appearances in the current season. The only time Guardiola called him into the starting line-up, the “Citizens” failed in the EFL Cup against Newcastle United (0-1).

“As a footballer you always want to play. And of course that is also the case for me. “I want more playing minutes, and obviously I haven’t gotten them in the last year and a half,” Phillips said on the TV channel “Channel 4” during the week, without explicitly talking about a change. His contract runs until 2028, so a loan would also be an option.
