Real Madrid star linked to Newcastle United, Juventus preparing for Phillips move, and transfer rumors surrounding both teams

It has been reported in Italy that Juventus is prepared to jump ahead of their competitors and start negotiations with Kalvin Phillips immediately. The January transfer window will see the England midfielder depart Manchester City, maybe on a loan before making a permanent move in the summer.

Although Phillips has been linked to a move to Newcastle United, Eddie Howe, the head coach of the Magpies, has downplayed rumors that a No. 6 role was high on their January agenda or that a move was imminent. The 28-year-old’s departure is acceptable to City manager Pep Guardiola, and new rumors indicate Juventus may be ready to intensify their interest.

Juve are looking for a player to replace Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli and have identified Phillips as the ideal candidate.

According to Spanish reports, Newcastle United might be prepared to pay somewhat more than £50 million to get Brahim Díaz of Real Madrid. Due to the lack of prospects in Spain, the 24-year-old has drawn interest from teams like AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen.

With the ability to play as an attacking midfielder or in wide roles, the Spanish attacker has also been linked to West Ham and rival Aston Villa in the Premier League. According to Fichajes, Newcastle has been keeping an eye on his circumstances and might be prepared to intervene in January.
