Leeds United is interested in re-signing Kalvin Phillips for Elland Road should they achieve promotion to the Premier League. Phillips, who is currently on loan at West Ham United, will be returning to Manchester City at the conclusion of the current season.
Failing to secure a consistent spot in the starting lineup under Pep Guardiola, the English midfielder is anticipated to be put up for permanent sale in the upcoming summer transfer window. It is expected that Cityzens will ask for a transfer fee around £30m (€35m).
The Whites currently occupy the third position in the Championship standings, trailing by just one point behind an automatic promotion spot. Their aim is to secure the return of their star midfielder through an initial loan agreement, as they are hesitant to meet City’s asking price.
Despite his move during the January transfer window, Phillips has encountered difficulties adapting to life in London. He has faced challenges in finding his rhythm with The Hammers and has recently become entangled in a controversy after gesturing his middle finger towards his own supporters amidst severe criticism.
