Fenerbahce’s Midfield Move
Fenerbahçe is planning to transfer two new players in order to strengthen its midfield. It has been learned that club manager Acun Ilıcalı will go to England with sports director Mario Branco in a short time and hold various meetings.
The yellow-navy team has been working on the transfer of Mateo Kovacic for a long time, and now they have another star player from Manchester City on their radar. Fenerbahçe managers have declared a mobilization to transfer Kalvin Phillips.
The English player, who was also on Fenerbahçe’s transfer list last season, spent the second half on loan at West Ham United. As of now, the 28-year-old midfielder is quite open to a transfer to a new club as he is not among Manchester City’s manager Pep Guardiola’s plans.
Both City management and Phillips are open to the offers that will come. It is stated that Fenerbahçe will decide whether to make an offer after investigating the cost of the successful football player.
Who is Calvin Phillips?
Calvin Phillips, was born on December 2, 1995 in Leeds, England. He started his football career at Leeds United and played for the club at various levels. He made a big breakthrough, especially during Marcelo Bielsa’s tenure as manager, and became one of the team’s indispensable players.
