Liverpool are reportedly keen to sign Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City this summer and he is available for around £35m.
The Englishman was one of the players Man City signed during last summer’s transfer window. He earned himself this major move after shining for Leeds United and England.
Phillips joined a Man City team that is full of quality operators and he has been unable to make an impact this term. Rodri has been favoured by Pep Guardiola and the Englishman has often been left on the sidelines.

“I like Kalvin Phillips. He’s not been used at Man City. OK, Rodri’s performances have been extraordinary, but I think Phillips is a fabulous ball-winner – we saw him enough at Leeds to know that.
“I think they’ve got to go back to their first port of call – make your team as hard to beat as they were before. They were brilliant in midfield with Henderson, Fabinho and…
