Juventus are taking new steps to sign Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City, according to the latest claims from the Italian media.
CalcioMercato.it today shares an exclusive story reporting there was a meeting held about this transfer on Monday.
It’s said Juventus director Giovanni Manna met the agents of the Manchester City player in London.
Phillips is said to be a top target for the Old Lady in January, and the Serie A side are currently working on the formula to take him from England.
Juventus’ interest in the midfielder has indeed been doing the rounds in Italian newspapers lately, even though there’s no certainty the club will manage to convince Manchester City of a deal.
The Bianconeri are also believed to have some competition for the signing, since Tottenham Hotspur have also been reported as an interested party.
Philipps has only played 187 minutes for Manchester City this season, and that counts the entire game he spent on the pitch in the EFL Cup clash against Newcastle United. That’s why Juventus hope they’ll have good arguments to take him in January.
