Kalvin Phillips is allegedly interested in joining another Premier League club in January, despite persistent interest from Liverpool.
According to CalcioMercato, the England international wants to stay in his homeland despite Juventus’ considerable interest in signing Phillips in the new year.
Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling is largely anticipated to depart the current English champions in January, with Juventus considered the favorite to sign the 27-year-old.
However, a Premier League return now appears more realistic for Phillips, which will be a significant boost for Liverpool moving into the winter window.
Phillips, described as a ‘phenomenal’ talent by Kieran Trippier, checks all the boxes for what Liverpool are seeking for in a January midfield addition.
And, with the City exile now determined to stay in England, Liverpool can make a significant drive to bring Phillips to Anfield in the coming weeks, a move that will excite the former Leeds United great.
Liverpool must do everything possible to sign Phillips in January.
Phillips’ desire to remain in the Premier League makes sense in light of the midfielder’s desire to make England’s final team for the Euros next summer.
And Liverpool must now do everything possible to sign Phillips in January, who could be a dream acquisition for the Reds in the winter window.
Despite having barely played for City in the last year, Phillips has enough credit from his time at Leeds to provide Liverpool exactly what they want in a new deal.
And, with the midfielder eager to remain in the Premier League, Phillips is confident in his ability to make an impact at a top club, which might be very enticing to Liverpool.
