He played under 600 minutes across the Treble-winning campaign but was insistent over the summer that he wanted to force a way into the manager\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/01\/16\/78478247-0-image-a-1_1701449357859.jpg\" height=\"450\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is being seen as a potential target by Juventus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/01\/16\/78478267-0-image-a-2_1701449361593.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Massimiliano Allegri&#8217;s side are currently locked in a title race with Inter Milan, sitting two points behind the Nerazzurri in Serie A<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/01\/16\/78478345-0-image-a-3_1701449365287.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>But after joining Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side for \u00a343million in 2022, Phillips has failed to secure regular game time\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>That has not materialised, with the Carabao Cup defeat at Newcastle United being his only start. City left the player to determine his own future when clubs circled during the last transfer market and will do similar this time.<\/p>\n<p>Juventus operate with five in midfield, with Weston McKennie \u2013 who failed to impress on loan at Leeds last season \u2013 often picked alongside Italy internationals Manuel Locatelli and Fabio Miretti or Adrien Rabiot.<\/p>\n<p>Mateo Kovacic has been given the nod before Phillips and could be back in Guardiola\u2019s squad for Sunday&#8217;s clash with Ange Postecoglou\u2019s Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian, who managed City\u2019s Japanese sister club Yokohama F. Marinos, drew praise from Guardiola and is expected to stick to his attacking principles despite a raft of injuries to key players.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Absolutely not,\u2019 Guardiola said when asked if Tottenham may alter to become more defensive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/01\/16\/78478335-0-image-a-4_1701449378390.jpg\" height=\"458\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Should he join Juventus, he could find himself playing alongside another ex-Leeds player, Weston McKennie, in midfield<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/01\/16\/78478747-0-image-a-5_1701449413765.jpg\" height=\"460\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>So far this season, Phillips (R) has made eight appearances for Man City across all competitions<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It would be a surprise. I met him in pre-season in 2019 when we played Yokohama. I saw some of their games before and I said, \u201cwow, there are things that I like\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve followed him ever since. In a relatively short time, even the games they didn&#8217;t win lately, I&#8217;m impressed with how good they do many things &#8211; how many chances they create, how aggressive they are in all departments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He came here and in a few months you recognise perfectly his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think he makes football a better place because I&#8217;m also a spectator and I enjoy watching them a lot with the approach they have.
