Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips is reportedly eyeing a move to Barcelona following a disappointing loan spell with West Ham United.
Phillips, returning to City this summer, has expressed his desire to join the Catalan club, believing his playing style aligns with Barcelona’s philosophy.
While City seeks to offload Phillips for around £25 million, a loan move appears more likely, opening the door for a potential Barcelona transfer.
However, Barcelona’s immediate focus lies on securing Guido Rodriguez on a free transfer from Real Betis.
Financial constraints restrict them to free transfers until they resolve their budgetary issues, potentially involving the departure of Oriol Romeu to raise funds.
Despite Phillips being a candidate, Barcelona’s pursuit may depend on their ability to raise sufficient funds or secure a free transfer.
The midfielder has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs but reportedly seeks a move away from the English topflight.
Barcelona‘s interest in Phillips was evident during the January window, but their current priority lies elsewhere.
Should circumstances change, Phillips remains a potential target alongside other options like Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich.
