Liverpool tempt Leeds United into Nat Phillips transfer as new value shared
Leeds United need to act quickly to sign Liverpool defender Nat Phillips, who is now available for a reduced fee of £5million.
With Trabzonspor stepping back due to valuation differences, the Whites have a great chance to snap up a solid defender for a bargain price, according to Turkish outlet 61saat [6 July].
Phillips, 27, has shown he can perform under pressure and despite limited playtime at Liverpool, his loan spells at Stuttgart, Bournemouth and Cardiff have prepared him well for regular action.
Leeds would also benefit greatly from Phillips’ defensive skills in the Championship. A strong defence is crucial for success, and Phillips could be the key piece the Whites need.
Leeds United offered a bargain price for Nat Phillips
Liverpool’s lowered price of £5m makes this deal too good to pass up. Leeds manager Daniel Farke has also shown interest in Phillips before and now is the perfect time to move.
Cardiff are also interested [BBC], so Leeds must act fast to avoid missing out.
For Phillips, joining the Yorkshire club would mean more playing time and a chance to be a regular starter. For Leeds, it means adding a reliable defender to help them push for promotion next season.
The Whites must seize this opportunity because the price is right, and Phillips could make a huge difference alongside Joe Rodon for their upcoming campaign as they look to get back to the Premier League.
