Liverpool transfer news LIVE: ‘Contact’ Arda Guler, Nat Phillips price, latest Nico Williams

Liverpool have put a price of around $10m (£8m/€9m) on Nat Phillips’ head, according to the Daily Mail. The defender is yet to secure a permanent move away from Anfield, with the 27-year-old having been sent out on a string of loan spells since his ill-fated 2020/21 breakthrough.

Phillips has been repeatedly kept out at Anfield to stave off injury fears. When he left, he was on temporary contracts, with Bournemouth, Celtic and later Cardiff.

However, this latest move has been a success and Liverpool are not expected to be short of suitors for Phillips. Cardiff want him back, other Championship clubs are keen and Mainz are also interested. Meanwhile, newly promoted Premier League side Ipswich are a potential destination.

Liverpool have made contact to sign Real Madrid star Arda Guler, according to Spanish publication Marca. The story is included in the print edition and is transmitted via Paisley Gates.

Interest in Guler had previously been reported by Estadio Deportivo. However, Real Soceidad are also understood to admire the 19-year-old, and would be open to a loan deal.

Real Madrid, for their part, are not expected to let Guler leave permanently. Whether they prefer a loan move for the teenager, who struggled for minutes at the Bernabeu last season, remains to be seen where that leaves Liverpool’s apparent pursuit.
