Newcastle and Bayern Munich are competing for Kalvin Phillips. Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, is open to the idea of loaning out Phillips in the upcoming January transfer window.
However, according to Daily Mail, he's waiting to see whether Newcastle will be a title contenders before making a final decision. So, it seems like Guardiola is more willing to loan Phillips to a Bundesliga club, as he doesn't want to boost his rivals in the Premier League.
Despite being told he could leave in the summer, Phillips chose to fight for his place at the Treble winners. Nonetheless, he has only started one game for Man City in all competitions this season.
Phillips is eager for more playing time, especially with an eye on securing a spot in the squad for next summer's European Championship in Germany. The competition for his loan move highlights his value in the football market, and it will be intriguing to see where he ends up when the transfer window opens.
