Transfer: Pep Guardiola speaks on Kalvin Phillips’ exit

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kalvin Phillips has joined Ipswich Town on a season-long loan.

Phillips chose the newly-promoted club over offers from other Premier League teams.

Manchester City will cover a portion of the 28-year-old’s wages during his time with the Tractor Boys.

Speaking to the media on Friday, Guardiola explained that Phillips made the move to seek more playing time.

He said: “It looks like he’s going on loan to Ipswich. It’s close. I think it’s already done.

“He decided to go there. He has to have minutes.

“We thought he would not have the minutes he deserves. He has the chance in the future to maybe come back here.”
