A verbal agreement has been reached between Sheffield United and Manchester City for a new loan deal that will see Kalvin Phillips join the Championship club.
The move is now at an advanced stage, with the midfielder’s medical the main step remaining before it can be completed.
Softfootball understands that all major terms have been agreed between the two clubs, with Phillips now waiting to undergo his medical before completing the switch.

The England international is expected to begin a fresh chapter at Sheffield United as he looks to secure regular playing time and rebuild momentum.
Manchester City remain prepared to allow Phillips to leave temporarily as the midfielder continues to seek consistent first-team football. Sheffield United believe his experience and quality can strengthen their squad significantly for the upcoming campaign.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are also working on another potential midfield addition, with the Premier League club closing in on a deal for Lille youngster Ayyoub Bouaddi. City continue to focus on strengthening their squad while also managing the futures of players such as Phillips.
