Phillips is on Bayern’s summer shortlist and the club supposedly have a good relationship with his agency CAA Stellar.
The Bundesliga side are desperate to sign a holding midfielder and even went in for Rice.
However, he wants to stay in the Premier League, forcing Bayern to go for other targets.
West Ham are also interested in Phillips and he could be part of a player plus cash bid for Rice expected to go in shortly, giving them the upper hand in the race.
The former Leeds ace wants to stay at City but could be forced out.
And he may opt for Germany over the Hammers.
Phillips had a tough first season at the Etihad, starting just two league matches on route to the Treble.
The 27-year-old’s contract does not expire until 2028.
