According to Graeme Bailey, Rangers would be eager to sign Manchester City striker Kalvin Phillips in light of recent happenings at the Etihad Stadium.
On Thursday, May 30, the writer revealed via HITC that City has informed the midfield player he can depart this summer, and they are reportedly prepared to pay his whole salary to remove him from the books following his unsatisfactory loan at West Ham.
The fact that the Light Blues and Celtic wouldn’t have to pay the lion’s share of the England international’s present salary would be their main incentive to recruit Phillips this summer.
Teams throughout Europe are also interested in the 28-year-old, who doesn’t seem to be short on choices until the transfer market opens, in addition to English clubs like Everton and Leeds United.
Celtic and Rangers are interested in signing Kalvin Phillips, a player for Manchester City. Under Philippe Clement, Rangers will be eager to bolster this summer, although it’s unclear how much cash the Light Blues will have to spend on transfers after losing out on the championship.
Brendan Rodgers’ team might have the financial wherewithal to overtake the Gers in this race if it comes down to a direct shootout between them and the Hoops, especially because they are assured a position in the Champions League.
Despite going through a challenging moment in his career after going on loan to West Ham, Phillips is unquestionably a great talent and has the potential to be a world-class player with the correct coaching.
However, the 28-year-old hasn’t produced at that caliber in a long.
In the end, the Gers will be taking a huge risk, and it might not be what Clement and his team need as they get ready for a major rebuild this summer.
