Bayern Munich & Liverpool show interest in Man City's Kalvin Phillips

Bayern Munich and Liverpool have both shown interest in signing Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips, 90min understands.

Phillips moved to City from Leeds United last summer for a fee of £45m but has been restricted to just 21 appearances and under 600 minutes of action in the 12 months since.

Despite his struggles, the 27-year-old insisted earlier this summer that he wanted to stay and fight for his future at the club, but that has not stopped teams from across Europe voicing an interest in his services.

Indeed, sources have confirmed to 90min that German champions Bayern Munich are keen on Phillips, with their interest driven by manager Thomas Tuchel, who is known to have been impressed by the England international during his time working at Chelsea.

Liverpool have also enquired about a move for Phillips as Jurgen Klopp seeks to bolster a midfield that missed out on both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Tuchel's former employers.
