Everton may have boosted Kalvin

Phillips transfer hopes after Fabrizio

Romano drops Juventus update

After 20 games of the season, Sean

Dyche’s team was only one point above

the relegation zone due to a 10-point

deduction for breaking profit and

sustainability criteria, as determined by

an independent panel.

While there may not be much money to

spend at Goodison Park this month,

Dyche needs new options through the

door if possible and one name that has

been repeatedly linked with th

e switch to

Merseyside is Manchester City midfielder

Kalvin Phillips.

 

The England international was

reportedly interested in joining

Newcastle on a season-long loan, but the

team was aware of competition from

Crystal Palace, Everton, and Juventus,

according to reports from The Telegraph on December 27.

Following the publication of that report,

one team has withdrawn from the

competition for the 28-year-old’s

signature: Italian powerhouse Juventus

has announced that Fabrizio Romano

will not be pursuing Phillips in January.

“Juventus have no intention to proceed

for Kalvin Phillips deal at current

conditions after talks with Manchester

City on loan fee and salary coverage,” the

player wrote on his X account on Sunday, January 7.

“More clubs are welcome to enter;

Newcastle is still interested.”

Everton’s prospects of signing the out-of-

favor Manchester City player have now

increased significantly, should they

decide to do so. Earlier this month,

Juventus appeared to be the most likely

destination for the 28-year-old.

The only thing that worries many at

Goodison Park is if the Toffees would be

able to pay Phillips’ salary or loan fee.

Everton already faces its own financial

difficulties; should Juventus fail to meet City’s demand, could the Toffees?

Newcastle could not be able to meet

City’s demands because they themselves

must manage financial fair play

regulations. Pep Guardiola might also be

hesitant to start one of his players for the

second half of the season against a rival

team that is close to the top of the table.
