On June 25, the famous transfer expert Romano updated his video media program and broke some inside information about the transfer. Among them is the England national tough karl Phillips, which is widely concerned by Manchester City fans. According to Romano, Phillips will join Manchester City with a fixed price of 42 million + 3 million floating a total value of 45 million pounds, while Manchester City also sent a young player with a payment of 5 million pounds, bringing the total price of the transaction to 50 million pounds. It is worth mentioning that Romano also revealed that there are teams in the Premier League that have made better offers than Manchester City, but Phillips has a very clear attitude, he only wants to join Manchester City, is this the legendary "children's city dream"?
In fact, there are still many teams in the Premier League that are interested in Phillips, but there is only one team that is higher than Manchester City's price, and that is Manchester United next door. In this summer, they lost midfielders such as Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Mata, and the idea of reinforcement is very strong. The two main backs of the England national team, Phillips and Rice, are both on their reinforcement list, but West Ham United have paid Rice hundreds of millions of pounds in transfer fees, which has made Phillips, who is only 50 million euros in Germany, extremely cost-effective.
However, the historical sworn enemy relationship between Leeds United and Manchester United makes Phillips, who was born in the youth training of Leeds United and is a die-hard white rose, himself have a strong resistance to joining Manchester United, so even if Manchester United offers a higher price, it is difficult to get Phillips's approval. Of course, this is not the most important thing, the current Manchester City, in terms of attraction to players, is beyond the reach of the city's opponents.
In the six seasons that Guardiola has coached, Manchester City has won 11 championship trophies, including four Premier League titles, gradually transforming from a local team into a top giant in English football. Guardiola's excellent coaching ability, the harmonious team atmosphere and the high trust and support of the club's top management for the coaching team are all important factors for Manchester City to dominate the Premier League. The addition of super centre-forward Haaland is enough to show that Manchester City's attraction to top stars can already compete with European giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
On the other hand, Manchester United, since the retirement of Ferguson, the team has no chance of winning the Premier League, especially last season, Manchester United fired Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, ingeniously invited interim manager Lonnick, the result only to get 59 points in the history of the lowest score in the league, if it were not for the help of Manchester City and Brighton, they may not even qualify for the Europa League. Today, although the new coach Tenhag is in place, Manchester United has been full of scandals in the transfer market, but so far they have not fished for a single one. In other words, joining Manchester United now is tantamount to wading through muddy waters, and Phillips naturally will not consider it.
The most crucial point is the importance that Manchester City attaches to England's homegrown players. Last summer, Guardiola's side offered £150 million for The British star Harry Kane. After being rejected, they turned around and spent £100 million to sign England international Glalis. Although last season, Glalish's performance could only be considered decent, Manchester City was also ridiculed by many media for being stupid. But there is a Chinese saying called "a thousand gold to buy bones", and the Blue Moon Army's desire for local stars is self-evident.
Today, Phillips is bent on joining Manchester City, and one of the main reasons is the Glalish effect, because in the eyes of England's humble waist, joining Manchester City not only means countless championships, but also can be respected and valued by the team, which can only be compared with Manchester United, which can only offer high prices.
