Leeds United are reportedly keen to sign Liverpool defender Nat Phillips.
Jurgen Klopp has suggested that he doesnot see any more outgoings at Liverpoolthis summer – hinting that Nat Phillips could be staying put once again.
The centre-back was on the periphery of things at the Reds last season, making a total of just five appearances. Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez were all ahead in the pecking order.
Phillips spent the second half of the 2021-22 campaign on loan at AFC Bournemouth where he helped the club to promotion from the Championship. The former Bolton defender has previously spoken of his need to play regularly.
Leeds United have been linked with Phillips following their relegation from the Premier League, with a £10 million price tag suggested. Indeed, manager Daniel Farke has admitted he would like to bolster his options in the centre of defence.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth, Klopp admitted there still could be more new faces still to arrive before the transfer window closes.
But he does not envisage any movement when it comes to players leaving Anfield.
Klopp told reporters: “The window is open and until then pretty much everything can happen.
On the outgoing side, from my side, nothing will happen but I learned in this window a lot of things so we will see that.
Incomings, there is still time, so let’s have a look and that’s what we will do.”
