Juventus are pondering a January move for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

Phillips is expected to leave City in January in search for better playing opportunities.

Bayern Munich, Juventus, Liverpool and Newcastle are among the clubs interested.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says Juventus have made contact with Phillips' representatives to explore the possibility of a January move.

Now the same source reports that Juve are intensifying its pursuit of the 27-year-old. It should primarily be a loan without a purchase option.

Juventus is in need of midfield reinforcements since both Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli have been suspended, for doping and illegal betting respectively.
