Kalvin Phillips 'has offered himself' to massive European club as Man City flop seeks dream move

Kalvin Phillips has reportedly offered himself to a massive European club ahead of the summer transfer window.

Back in the summer of 2022, Phillips moved to the Etihad Stadium from Leeds United in a deal worth a reported fee of £42 million.

However, the Englishman has so far failed to impress as he struggles to adapt to Pep Guardiola’s demands.

In January, the 28-year-old moved to West Ham United on loan but again found it tough.

Phillips ended up making just 10 appearances for the Hammers and was shown a red card against Nottingham Forest after two bookable offences.

Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, it has been claimed that Phillips has offered himself to Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona.

As reported by Spanish news outlet SPORT, the City star is set to have offered himself to the Catalan club, the report cited anonymous sources.

SPORTbible has contacted Kalvin Phillips’ representatives for comment.

A club statement read: “FC Barcelona and Hansi Flick have reached an agreement for the German to become men’s first team football coach until 30 June 2026. The new coach has signed a contract at the Club’s offices accompanied by FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta; first vice president responsible for the sporting area, Rafa Yuste and the Club’s sporting director, Anderson Luís de Souza, Deco.

“By bringing Hansi Flick as coach, FC Barcelona have chosen a man well known for his teams’ high pressing, intense and daring style of play which has brought him great success at club level and international level, winning pretty much all there is to win in the world of football.”

Speaking after signing for the club, Flick said: “It's a big honour, a dream for me to sign my contract here. We won some titles with Bayern Munich and my hunger is really big for titles.

“I would like to stay on this path with Barcelona and I think we can achieve a lot together and this is an important thing.”

The former Bayern Munich and Germany manager added: “The philosophy they have is similar to mine, lots of possession and really attacking football and these other things I love.”
