Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering acquiring Kalvin Phillips, with their interest focused on a loan deal that would include an option to buy. Sources close to the situation have indicated that City are willing to begin negotiations at approximately £10 million. There is also an acceptance that the fee could drop further if it facilitates a permanent transfer. The primary obstacle is Phillips’ salary, which is approximately £150,000-£165,000 per week, and City may need to subsidise a portion of his wages.

Football Insider revealed on 30 January that Wolves and Burnley want to sign Kalvin Phillips and are hopeful of signing him from the Etihad before the deadline. Phillips has not played for Man City since their Carabao Cup win against Huddersfield in September, and the two clubs, who are threatened by relegation, are set to offer him an opportunity to leave. Pep Guardiola is willing to allow the England international to leave this month as he is not in his plans for the rest of the season. The midfielder’s contract at City runs until 2028, but all parties want him to leave before the expiry date and are working towards that outcome.

Kalvin Phillips has been associated with a potential transfer from Manchester City, and Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in the player. According to a report from The Daily Mail, Phillips is in talks to join Wolves before the January window. The report does not specify whether the move would be a loan or a permanent deal. For the transfer to happen, Manchester City will have to subsidise some of his £150k-a-week wages, as it is improbable that Wolves can afford that sum.

Wolves are considered serious contenders to offer Kalvin Phillips an opportunity to play in the Premier League this month, exploring a loan deal as Rob Edwards seeks reinforcements for the club's effort to avoid relegation. Currently, Wolves are a much more likely destination for Phillips than Leeds.
