Juventus are eyeing up a loan move for out-of-favour Man City star Kalvin Phillips... despite the £43m midfielder previously claiming he wanted to fight for a place in Pep Guardiola's side

Juventus are emerging as a potential destination for Kalvin Phillips should the midfielder decide to leave Manchester City in January.

The England international has featured for just 216 minutes across eight appearances this season, with teenager Rico Lewis so far preferred during City’s Champions League campaign.

Phillips, who has always been ready to fight for his place under Pep Guardiola, is left with a decision to make ahead of next summer’s European Championship.

Mail Sport understands that Juventus – battling in a Serie A title race with Inter – are among those exploring the possibility of a loan deal for the 27-year-old, a move that would help Gareth Southgate’s squad planning.
