Pep Guardiola tips Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi to be his successor at Man City
Pep Guardiola has made no secret of his respect for Roberto De Zerbi's technical prowess and has tipped him to succeed him at Man City.
Phillips is left with four-and-a-half years left on his contract and City was prepared to pay a sizable portion of it to clear a road for his departure.
However, according to City insiders, the player is willing to accept about half of that sum to restart his career elsewhere.
During the international break, the player himself spoke with Channel 4 and said, “I want minutes and I want to go to Euro 2024 and we’ll see what happens.

“As a football player, you always want to be playing, and that’s the case with me. I want to be playing as much as possible and obviously, I haven’t done that over the last year and a half, so that’s one thing I want to do.”
The likes of Newcastle, West Ham and Bayern Munich are all keen to sign the English midfielder in January.
