Calvin Phillips was signed by Manchester City for €49m in the summer of 2022 and Pep Guardiola has announced he will leave the club at the Etihad Stadium this winter.
Calvin Phillips, a €49 million flop
Calvin Phillips has been snapped up by Manchester City for €49m after some incredible performances for Leeds United, but the Englishman has failed to confirm Pep Guardiola’s command.
The England international midfielder, now 28, has struggled with his weight since arriving at the Etihad Stadium and has since made just 29 appearances for the Premier League champions.
The current coach of the winner of the UEFA Champions League, Pep Guardiola, has announced that he will leave the team this winter.
“I feel so sorry for Calvin. I’m visualizing something, but I’m trying to find a place for it in the team, that’s all.
I need a personality, a character, and he is the perfect example. I’m sorry,” said the Manchester City coach.
Guardiola: “I feel very sorry for Calvin Phillips.”
“I ask for a good personality as well as a good character and he is the perfect example…”
“It’s just because I’m visualizing something, I’m visualizing the team, and it’s a little bit hard for me to see him. That’s all”. pic.twitter.com/uBA8qd1WCk
