Liverpool would be willing to deal with Manchester City after 8 years due to their interest in Kalvin Phillips, who hasn’t played a lot for them last season.
As per Daily Mail, Liverpool plan to get in contact with Pep’s side as they have Kalvin Phillips under consideration.
The German boss is still looking at various options for the replacement of the departing midfield duo. The duo of Fabinho and Henderson are reportedly on their way out of Anfield.
In order to be able to have depth and quality, Klopp needs to act quickly. A few names are on the shortlist and the City man is one of them.
Kalvin Phillips to Liverpool?
After signing Mac Allister and Dominic Szoboszlai, it seemed that the Reds had things under control. But the Saudi interest in Fabinho and Hendo came out of nowhere.
Even worse, the players have reportedly agreed on personal terms with their respective clubs. This has left the fans disappointed and are expecting quick action in the transfer window.
The Reds aren’t short of options but the fact that they haven’t acted upon their long-term target Khephren Thuram, says a lot.
Southampton’s Romeo Lavia is one of the top targets at the moment to replace Liverpool number 3.
Now, Kalvin Phillips is also on the Liverpool radar. Having played just 593 minutes in the treble-winning season, the English international is having a tough time replacing Rodri.
As per reports, Phillips is considered to be an ‘intriguing option’ for Liverpool this summer. It suggested that it ‘remains to be seen’ whether Man City would want to do business with ‘bitter rivals’ this summer.
The £45m midfield now has a treble under his belt but struggled to make an impact during his first season at the Etihad.
Moreover, not just Rodri, he has found it difficult to replace John Stones who was converted into a midfielder in a few matches.
Considering the lack of playing time, Klopp could capitalize on the fact of more game time.
However, doing business with Man City won’t be easy and they could put a large price tag on the 27-year-old.
