PSG leading the race for Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips

In a surprising twist, The Telegraph reveals that PSG are actively pursuing 28-year-old Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City. Displaced from Leeds United in 2022, Phillips struggled to secure a regular spot with the Skyblues, starting only three times last year and featuring in nine matches this season. Manchester City are reportedly open to selling Phillips in the winter transfer window, providing PSG with a potential opportunity.

However, competition for Phillips is fierce, with Newcastle, Juventus, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich also expressing interest. While Newcastle favours a loan deal, PSG finds itself in a pole position alongside the English club in pursuing the versatile midfielder. As the winter transfer window unfolds, PSG faces the challenge of outbidding other top European clubs to secure the services of Kalvin Phillips.

Who are the other targets for PSG apart from Kalvin Phillips?

In a significant development on January 1, the countdown for Kylian Mbappe’s potential exit from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has commenced, with the French forward now eligible to negotiate with other clubs. Despite this, PSG supporters are holding out hope for Mbappe’s contract extension, while the club, regardless of his decision, is actively planning for the future.

Emerging talents Lucas Beraldo (20 years old) and Gabriel Moscardo (18 years old) are set to join PSG, pending formalizations, signifying the club’s commitment to nurturing young talent. However, the Parisian giants are not done with their winter transfer dealings.

Recent reports from The Parisian indicate that PSG, under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, are exploring the acquisition of a left-back due to concerns surrounding Nuno Mendes’ delayed return from injury.

Enrique, conscious of player fatigue and keen to preserve the squad’s depth, is eyeing a versatile left-back who can also contribute on the right side. Simultaneously, PSG are considering reinforcing its midfield, with Enrique expressing the need for an experienced player in this position.

Despite the arrival of the injured Moscardo, who faces a three-month absence, PSG are reportedly keen on recruiting a seasoned midfielder such as Kalvin Phillips.
