Liverpool Eyeing Kalvin Phillips as Fabinho Prepares to Depart

Bola.net – Liverpool will soon lose Fabinho in the summer of 2023. Instead, The Reds are eyeing Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City.

Fabinho is getting closer to leaving Anfield. The 29-year-old midfielder is interested in moving to the Saudi Arabian League after receiving a luxury offer from Al Ittihad.

Liverpool also did not lose much to release one of their vital players. An offer of 46.5 million Euros is enough to redeem Fabinho.

Fabinho’s departure will create a hole in Liverpool’s midfield. Therefore, a number of midfielders are being targeted to patch the hole.

Top Phillips

Yes, Liverpool actually have a list of players who deserve to be recruited. Among these names, Calvin occupies the top list per report The Mirror.

This decision is surprising. The reason is, the 27-year-old midfielder was not the main choice at Man City throughout the 2022/2023 season, aka his career was fading.

Kalvin only played for 593 minutes in all competitions last season. The number has dropped dramatically compared to the 2021/2022 season while defending Leeds United, which totaled 1866 minutes.

Old Hunt

Even so, Kalvin is actually not a new name on Liverpool’s target list. Before moving to Man City, Liverpool had competed to bring him from Leeds.

It was Kalvin’s final decision to choose Man City that made Liverpool lose. In fact, Jurgen Klopp is known to be very interested in the midfielder’s playing style.

With Kalvin’s situation being easy to bring in, as well as Liverpool needing a new midfielder, the idea to try to tempt Kalvin arose again.

Southampton’s young midfielder, Romeo Lavia was also widely reported to be being intensely pursued by Liverpool in the summer of 2023 before rumors of Fabinho’s departure began to circulate.
