Man City offered Kalvin Phillips to make Declan Rice transfer cheaper

After the World Cup, Kalvin Phillips lost prominence in Pep Guardiola's line-ups, as he arrived overweight at Manchester City.

The reality is that the England international's role has taken a back seat this season, with just two Premier League appearances to his name. As a result, the defensive midfielder could be key to securing the signing of West Ham's Declan Rice.

According to Football Insider, the Cityzens offered Kalvin Phillips in negotiations to lower the Hammers' valuation of 100 million euros for the young midfielder.

In this way, Manchester City hopes that through the swap deal option, the operation will come to fruition.
