Despite winning the Club World Cup, the first star to leave Manchester City

Manchester City wants to compete again in the best possible way in the current season. The team has placed itself in an important way after an irregular start, but is already gaining strength in the Premier League and has had an accessible opponent in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Despite this, the team is already considering the first departure of a player who has been practically discarded by Pep Guardiola.

The winter transfer window is approaching and, as usual, the big European football clubs are developing strategies to strengthen their squads for the final stretch of the season. One of the teams that has been at the center of rumors is Newcastle United, who are facing challenges following Sandro Tonali's ban for his involvement in illegal betting. The Italian midfielder, whose acquisition represented a significant investment in the summer market, was tasked with leading the Magpies' midfield, but things have not gone as expected.

This situation has led British coach Eddie Howe to urgently seek a solution. The team's recent defeats have highlighted the need to strengthen the midfield, making the signing of a midfielder crucial. At St. James' Park, all eyes are on Kalvin Phillips, currently in the ranks of Manchester City and going through a complicated situation at his club.

Manchester City is already considering the departure of Kalvin Phillips

Phillips, a treble winner last season under Pep Guardiola, has played a marginal role this campaign, playing just 89 minutes on the pitch. This situation has been the subject of regrets by Guardiola himself, who considers the lack of opportunities for the talented English player unfair. In the midst of this situation, as pointed out by 'TalkSport', Guardiola seems willing to let Phillips go.
