Liverpool may just have accidentally revealed that the England international, Nat Phillips is leaving the club with a clue on the club’s website.
The Reds are in the middle of a major squad overhaul. With the blockbuster signings of Mac Allister and Dominic Szoboszlai for a combined fee of £90m, the Reds are further looking to bolster their squad.
The Merseysiders are expected to bring in a few more midfielders and also, defenders. However, given the budget, they might have to compromise on one of the positions.
Moreover, with a lot of senior first-team players leaving, Liverpool does need to get players to have a decent squad depth. Also, there are rumours about more players bound to be leaving this summer.
Nat Phillips to leave Liverpool?
Liverpool may have inadvertently revealed Phillips as the next player out of the door at Anfield. It was when releasing their new away kit for the 2023/24 campaign.
There is no option on the club website to select the defender’s name on the back of the shirt, unlike the rest of the senior squad.
Phillips, 26, has struggled for game time in recent seasons with Liverpool. He has made just two PL appearances in the last two campaigns.
He spent part of the 2021-22 season on loan at Bournemouth and was linked with a move away from Liverpool last summer.
However, the Bolton-born centre-back has previously been described as a ‘monster’ by Klopp. The defender was kept at the club to provide cover in defence.
He has continued to be linked with a transfer away from Anfield this summer. He has been linked with relegated Leeds United reportedly keen to bring him to Elland Road.
Moreover, Dutch club Feyenoord are also said to be interested in Phillips, as per The Athletic. However, the supporters have noticed the same on the website. And they are sure that the 26-year-old is set to leave the club.
