In what comes as a potential blow to Tottenham in their pursuit of Kalvin Phillips, 90 min have now revealed that Bayern Munich have made contact over a move for the Manchester City star.
It was Football Transfers who first reported last week that Spurs were ‘really keen’ on signing Phillips in January, with the midfielder alleged to have made his mind up to leave the Etihad Stadium in search of regular game time.
The Mirror subsequently suggested a couple of days ago that the 27-year-old’s agents are fielding enquiries ahead of January and alleged that City would even be open to loaning out the player.
Bayern enter race for Spurs-linked Kalvin Phillips
If 90 min’s latest update is to be believed, Bayern have now reached out to City over Phillip’s availability in January.
The report explains that Joao Palhinha remains the Bundesliga club’s top target and that they are expected to renew their interest in the Fulham star after failing to get a deal for him over the line in the summer.
However, the Bavarians are thought to have identified Phillips as an alternative, with Thomas Tuchel said to be a fan of the former Leeds man.

Spurs Web Opinion
With Conor Gallagher now looking set to remain at Chelsea and even potentially sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge, I would not be surprised if Spurs turn their attention to Phillips.
The 26-year-old ticks several boxes as he is homegrown, has Premier League experience and is not likely to cost a fortune.
