The midfielder has given his approval for the transfer, and Manchester City is also ready to loan him out in January.
Juventus appears to be on the verge of bringing Kalvin Phillips to Turin as early as January. Giuntoli and sporting director Manna met with the midfielder’s agent during their London trip. The meeting went quite well since the Englishman has given his approval to move to Italy, even if it’s just for 6 months. Manchester City, the owner of his contract, has also opened the possibility of a straightforward loan.
The remaining obstacle is the player’s salary, as Phillips earns around €5 million per year. While it is not an crazy big amount, it adds to the financial burden to a club that is focused in balancing its books. But there are two midfield positions to cover, given the forced absences of Pogba and Fagioli and Juve has to be active in the market.
Meanwhile, there is talk of Alvaro Morata‘s comeback, who is having a great season with Atletico Madrid so far. His name remains linked to the Bianconeri, who have never stopped pursuing him, especially since Allegri is a great admirer of his. His contract with the Colchoneros expires in June, but there are reports in Spain indicating an imminent extension until 2027.
