Liverpool are on the verge of finding a permanent exit for forgotten defender Nat Phillips, according to reports. The breakthrough comes soon after the Reds agreed a deal to send Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen, with Arne Slot reshuffling his defence during the off-season.

Liverpool have agreed to sell Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen for a fee rising to €41m (£35m). The defender is expected to join the 2024 Bundesliga champions as the summer trading between the two clubs continues.

Liverpool center-back Nat Phillips is close to securing an exit from the club this summer, according to journalist John Percy of The Telegraph.
