Leaving Manchester City! Phillips seeks opportunities due to the opportunity to play!

News on October 22 came that Manchester City midfielder Calvin Phillips may leave the team in the winter transfer window. The 27-year-old finally realized that he could get more opportunities to play only when leaving Manchester City, and his position in Southgate's European Cup program is difficult to guarantee.

Although several clubs expressed interest in him, Phillips insisted that he wanted to stay at Manchester City and continue to work hard to compete for the main position. However, he also understands that if he only plays a supporting role for the rest of the season, it will likely affect his chances of participating in next year's European Cup.

Newcastle, West Ham and Bayern Munich all expressed interest in him. If City can find a team willing to pay his salary and promise to buy out his contract next summer, they will also consider lending him out. Phillips currently has a weekly salary of £150,000 and he still has four and a half years of contract, which means Manchester City must pay his huge termination fee to pave the way for him to leave.

However, Manchester City insiders said Phillips is ready to accept the conditions to cut the number in half in a bid to get his career back on track.

This is an intriguing transfer rumor. A potential midfielder faces a choice whether to continue to fight for Manchester City, fight for the main position, or find other opportunities to seek breakthroughs for their careers. Regardless of the final choice, this decision will not only be about economic interests, but also about the desire for major events like the national team and the European Cup.

Let's wait and see what choice Phillips will make and where his career will go. In any case, his decision will be the focus of attention of the media and fans.
