Many players do not have a clear self-positioning, and McKennie has been asking for high salaries, but the result is that he is not capable enough and has been closed. Phillips was England's main midfielder before joining Manchester City, but after joining Manchester City, his form has declined, and his self-confidence has been low, and Phillips is eager to play games to save himself.
According to the latest news from Italy media "All Juventus", Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray have given up on bringing in McKennie, and the player's nonsensical high salary demand has led to the failure of the transfer, thus shifting the target and planning to loan Manchester City defender Phillips.
According to All Juventus, Galatasaray has always wanted to strengthen the midfield, and there was a previous scandal with United States midfielder McKennie, who Juventus wanted to sell, but it fell through because of the player's high salary requirements, so Manchester City defender Phillips was chosen.
Phillips came through the Leeds United academy and joined Manchester City from Leeds United for a fee of €49 million in the summer window of 2022, but failed to establish himself in the Blues, resulting in a significant drop in the player's form and a loan spell at West Ham United that could not be saved. Phillips is not in Pep Guardiola's plans for the new season, with City looking to sign or sell the England defender on loan.
The 28-year-old Phillips, 1.79 meters tall, plays in the midfield position, is a right-footed player, with a contract with Manchester City until 2028, with an annual salary of 7.8 million pounds (before tax) and a German turnover of 25 million euros. Phillips was unavailable for Manchester City in the first half of last season and made just three Premier League appearances on loan at West Ham United in the second half. Phillips, who has struggled in the Premier League and is now willing to try to save his career by playing abroad, needs consistent minutes to improve his form and confidence.
