It is safe to say Leeds United fans would love to see Kalvin Phillips back at Elland Road, irrespective of whether the club requires a new midfielder in the next few weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phillips<\/a>, 29, is back at Man City after a second loan spell away from the club, having joined Ipswich Town for the 2024-25 campaign. While the former England Player of the Year returned to fitness, he struggled.<\/p>\n

His time at West Ham prior to his loan at Ipswich could not have gone much worse. With Leeds<\/a> back in the Premier League<\/a>, The Whites now have a chance to sign the England midfielder, given his wages.<\/p>\n

It has been claimed that Phillips considered rejoining Leeds in the Championship<\/a> but a move would have been difficult, given the financial element. Now, Phillips is keen to return to Leeds in the next few weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently, Phillips was spotted at a Kaiser Chiefs gig at Temple Newsam. The same concert that saw Patrick Bamford join the likes of Ricky Wilson and Simon Rix on stage, and play along to \u2018I Predict A Riot\u2019.<\/p>\n

Phillips branded Bamford a legend<\/a> as he joined Luke Ayling in attending but what was also significant, was that Phillips was spotted in a protective boot. He has undergone surgery on an achilles injury.<\/p>\n

Now, Graeme Bailey has exclusively told LeedsUnited.News<\/strong> that the belief is \u00a345m<\/a> City signing Phillips will recover in August and Leeds remain in the mix for his signature, but are aware they will have to wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone\u2019s waiting for his injury return and when he can move. It\u2019s going to be a very cooperative deal from City\u2019s end. I understand Leeds are firmly in the mix. But we have to see how he comes back. <\/p>\n

\u201cLeeds know who he is, what he is, how he can operate, he offers a whole range of options. I believe the player would love to come back, they\u2019re very confident he\u2019s going to be fully fit by next month. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe won\u2019t be a Man City player at the end of August. They won\u2019t pay him off so he\u2019ll be loaned out again and I think there\u2019s a deal there to be had, Leeds are monitoring the situation,\u201d Bailey added, on Phillips.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome the end of August just when teams are starting the season and need numbers, I think he probably will have quite a few offers and interest from the bottom of the Premier League,\u201d Bailey summarised.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What Man City are requesting for Kalvin Phillips this summer\u2026<\/p>\n

City face a similar situation regarding Phillips, as Leeds do with Jack Harrison and Max Wober. Wober was loaned to Werder Bremen by Leeds because if Leeds sold Wober, the fee received would be a PSR loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With City signing Phillips for \u00a345m in 2022, half of his six-year City deal is up. But that means, anything below a fee of \u00a322.5m would be a loss for Pep Guardiola\u2019s side and the chances of receiving that are tiny.<\/p>\n

Leeds certainly won\u2019t want to pay as much as that for Phillips. City have supposedly set an asking price of \u00a320m for Phillips<\/a>, but a loan deal is much more likely over the course of the next few weeks.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is safe to say Leeds United fans would love to see Kalvin Phillips back at Elland Road,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,560,4884,45305,1860,100,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-254717","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-exclusives","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-kalvin-phillips","13":"tag-leeds","14":"tag-transfer-news","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114831537348189370","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
