As revealed by Telegraph, Newcastle United will recruit Kalvin Phillips in case Sandro Tonali is banned from playing due to a betting scandal. However, they will have to face strong competition from Juventus.
The above source said:
“Kalvin Phillips preparing for the opportunity to leave Manchester City in January to continue his dream of attending EURO 2024 – thanks to the Italian betting scandal.”

Kalvin Phillips became a “hot commodity” on the technology market.
“Phillips will consider leaving Man City in the next transfer window, if he continues to sit on the bench in the next 6 weeks.”
“Juventus and Newcastle United are expected to be forced to step in to find replacements for Nicolo Fagioli, who has been banned from playing for 7 months, and Sandro Tonali, who is also facing a lengthy suspension.”
“Paul Pogba was also suspended for anti-doping violations, giving Juventus even more reason to strengthen their midfield.”
“Moving to Juventus in the second half of the season could be seen as a good solution for both Phillips and City, as they are not participating in the European Cup.”
“Newcastle have shown an interest in Phillips in the past, but like Juventus, they will most likely only want a loan deal in January. Additionally, it remains to be seen whether Man City will grant their request. whether this player is temporarily transferred to a Premier League opponent or not.”
