Nat Phillips is expected to depart Liverpool before the transfer market closes this summer, according to reports.
According to the Mirror, the Reds are eager to trade the 26-year-old defender, who has yet to agree on a permanent move away from Merseyside this year.
All summer, the Liverpool centre-back has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield, with Leeds United one of many clubs interested in signing him.
However, the defender has yet to leave Liverpool, however it is widely expected that Phillips will move on a permanent basis in the coming weeks.
With Scott Parker hailing Phillips as a ‘great’ player, Liverpool pressing the player to go could hasten a transfer, with Phillips himself appearing eager to begin a new chapter in his career.
However, with only two weeks left in the transfer market, Liverpool is running out of time to sell Phillips, which could provide an issue heading into the new season.
Liverpool must use every available means to sell Phillips this summer
Phillips’ continued presence at Liverpool may surprise some fans this transfer window, and with time running out, the Reds must now attempt every trick in the book to sell the defender.
The 26-year-old is at a point in his career when he needs to be a regular somewhere else, and Liverpool must make that happen this summer.
As a result, the Reds must do everything possible to sell Phillips, who is likely to want to leave Anfield if it means becoming a permanent fixture at another club.
