Man City decision on Kalvin Phillips future emerges amid West Ham criticism

Manchester City are reportedly ready to sell Kalvin Phillips following his loan spell with West Ham.

Phillips joined the Hammers on loan in the January transfer window, hoping to turn around his form from his time at Man City. He had moved to the Etihad Stadium in the summer of 2022 for a reported fee of £45 million from Leeds United.

However, the move to City didn't go as planned, with Phillips failing to secure a regular starting position in Pep Guardiola's squad, reports the Mirror. As a result, West Ham opted to make a move to sign the midfielder on loan for the second half of the season.

Despite the change of scenery, Phillips' long-term future remains uncertain. The midfielder has struggled for regular game time under manager David Moyes, featuring just nine times in all competitions.

Now reports are claiming that Man City are ready to make a decision on Phillips' future when the summer transfer window opens. According to the Daily Mail, Man City are planning to sell Phillips at the end of the season, where they are apparently setting an asking price of £30 million.
