Liverpool to Offload Nat Phillips: Romano Confirms Transfer Talks
Liverpool fans can expect some squad changes this summer, with the club moving to offload fringe players. Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Nat Phillips is on the verge of leaving Anfield, with Turkish side Trabzonspor showing strong interest.
Phillips, a 27-year-old centre-back, has had a challenging few seasons under Jurgen Klopp, making only eight appearances for Liverpool in the past three years.
Despite Klopp’s support and praise, Phillips has struggled to secure a regular spot in the team. His loan spell at Cardiff City last season saw him perform admirably, reigniting interest in his abilities.
With Arne Slot now at the helm, Liverpool’s new head coach is beginning to shape his squad for the upcoming season. Slot’s early days in pre-season training signal the start of significant squad changes, and Phillips’ departure could be the first of several moves.
Phillips’ potential transfer to Trabzonspor seems imminent. Romano reported, “Nat Phillips to Trabzonspor is a concrete possibility. Trabzonspor are in negotiations, waiting for the player to decide.”
This move would not only offer Phillips a fresh start but also provide Liverpool with a financial boost. The Reds have reportedly set an £8 million asking price for Phillips, a reasonable sum for a player of his experience and potential.
As Liverpool fans eagerly await Slot’s first signing, the sale of Phillips might mark the beginning of a busy transfer window. Clearing space in the squad could pave the way for new additions and a refreshed approach under the Dutch coach.
For Phillips, a move to Turkey might just be the opportunity he needs to revive his career.
