Liverpool are one of the clubs who have enquired about the possibility of signing Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City.
The Englishman has had a torrid time at the Etihad under Pep Guardiola. He barely ever gets minutes and it’s clear that he has no future at Manchester City. A move away in January is likely, and Liverpool are among the clubs interested in him.

Liverpool have been linked with a move to sign Kalvin Phillips for a while now.
Reports have claimed that the Reds considered signing the England midfielder late in the summer transfer window, and they still really like him.
However, they aren’t the only ones.
90min claimed yesterday that Liverpool enquired about Phillips’ situation recently, as did Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, West Ham United, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus.
However, the report claims that a move to Newcastle United actually appeals to Phillips. The ‘unbelievable‘ Englishman would be a guaranteed starter there with Sandro Tonali banned for the rest of this season.
However, Liverpool are the bigger club and are fighting for trophies this year. If an opportunity does present itself, we don’t think a move to Anfield is something Phillips will say no to.

Manchester City have world-class players throughout their squad and it’s impossible for Pep Guardiola to keep them all happy.
That’s why, the Premier League champions have had to let go of some of their players in recent years, and they have even sold a few of them to their rivals.
City sold Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal, and the duo instantly made the Gunners title challengers. Guardiola sold Raheem Sterling to Chelsea and he had a fantastic game against them last month.
Considering where Liverpool are in the table right now, we think it would be silly on Manchester City’s part to strengthen Jurgen Klopp‘s side in the January transfer window.
