Sky Sports have claimed that David Moyes retains an interest in Liverpool centre back Nat Phillips
The British broadcaster says Bayer Leverkusen sounded out Phillips over a return to the Bundesliga but no bid has been received by Liverpool.
They claim an interest was registered with the players agent. Brighton, Burnley, Newcastle and West Ham could also move for the 24-year-old claim Sky.
Liverpool are said to be ready to sanction the sale of Phillips, the 24-year-old has put himself firmly in the shop window for a new club after his stellar performances last season. Amid a host of defensive injuries for the Reds, the Englishman stepped up to lead Jurgen Klopp’s line.
However, having had a taste of first-team football, Phillips could look to move on this summer. With Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez all returning to fitness, the Reds have also signed £36million Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig.
That has relegated Phillips to fifth choice in Jurgen Klopp’s pecking order. Liverpool will demand £15million for Phillips.
