Phillips joined City from Leeds for £42m last summer but his future at the Etihad Stadium is in doubt after a frustrating campaign.

If Bayern are unable to sign Phillips, they could turn to PSV’s Ibrahim Sangare.
Phillips scored his first England goal this week in the beating of North Macedonia and will be keen to get more minutes at club level next season to keep his place in the national team setup.
Bayern have already signed Konrad Laimer on a free transfer from RB Leipzig, with Thomas Tuchel keen to further strengthen his squad.
