Kalvin Phillips could be offered a way out of Manchester City via another European giant, according to a report.<\/p>\n
Phillips has endured a difficult time with the Treble winners since signing for the club for \u00a342million from Leeds a little over a year ago.<\/p>\n
Tipped to be a vital player for the club and, if nothing more, an understudy to Rodri, the England midfielder has made just five starts for City, with a further 21 appearances coming from the bench.<\/p>\n
His stock has dropped dramatically since leaving Leeds, where he was arguably the most important player before their relegation from the Premier League.<\/p>\n
According to The Sun, however, he could be on his way out of the club as soon as January with Bayern Munich\u00a0reportedly monitoring his progress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kalvin Phillips has reportedly been offered the chance to join Bayern Munich in the January transfer window<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Phillips has made just five starts since joining City from Leeds for \u00a342million last summer<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He has found himself far down the order in Pep Guardiola’s (pictured) rankings, still failing to start despite Rodri’s recent suspension<\/p>\n

Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel is said to be wanting to strengthen his midfield and Phillips is on a list of potential targets as the winter window approaches.<\/p>\n
It is suggested that a deal similar to that of Joao Cancelo last season, who left City for Bayern on loan, could be in place, with Pep Guardiola’s side seemingly open to a temporary deal.<\/p>\n
Phillips was offered the chance to leave the club in the summer transfer window but chose to stay and fight for his place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel is said to be keen to strengthen his midfield, with Phillips on a list of targets<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Harry Kane (centre) would welcome another England player joining the club after his move in the summer window<\/p>\n
Things haven’t gone to plan, however, with the 27-year-old yet to start a league game this season, with his one start coming in the Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle in September.<\/p>\n
It was thought he might get some more playing time over the last three matches with key midfielder Rodri injured, but that didn’t transpire with several alternatives preferred.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovacic and Rico Lewis – naturally a full back – were all played ahead of Phillips and in some cases out of position, making it clear how far down in Guardiola’s estimations he is.<\/p>\n
Phillips’ potential move would also likely be welcomed by England captain Harry Kane, who joined Bayern in the summer but is the only English player at the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
