One club emerges as leaders for Liverpool star who looks set to leave club

Defender Nat Phillips looks likely to leave Liverpool prior to Tuesday’s transfer deadline and one club has emerged as leaders in the race for the centre-back. 

Following the long-term injury to Virgil van Dijk, many thought that Phillips would be staying at Anfield to cover for the rest of the campaign but it now looks like Jurgen Klopp is open to the 25-year-old leaving.

According to The Athletic, Galatasaray are leading the chase to sign the Liverpool defender but there has also been interest from a number of Bundesliga clubs.

Phillips is said to be open to the idea of moving to Turkey and will hope that a deal can be done before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
