Manchester City is moving in all directions. The Citizens have officially completed the arrival of young Claudio Echeverri until June 2028. But the young man will remain on loan at River Plate for another year. In terms of departures, the English press announces that Kalvin Phillips (28 years old) has joined London in order to undergo his medical examination to commit to West Ham. Despite competition from Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Juventus, FC Barcelona and PSG, the former Leeds player will join the Hammers in the form of a loan with an option to buy.
At a press conference, Pep Guardiola commented on this imminent departure.“It’s still not done. He traveled yesterday for a medical examination, but it is not completely done. He’s probably going to be loaned for six months and I hope he plays the minutes he deserves and that I couldn’t give him. It’s like that. I have said it many times, he is an exceptional human being and football player, otherwise he would not be part of the national team. I hope he can prove what he really is.” He will surely have the opportunity to do so at the Hammers.
