Manchester City are reluctant to sell Calvin Phillips to an English club in January amid rumors Liverpool are interested.
According to the Daily Mail, reigning Premier League champions Liverpool would rather move the £50m-rated midfielder overseas than sell him to a direct rival like Liverpool.
The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for the former Leeds United star in the January transfer window.
However, this latest update could spell the end of a potential prospect, with Liverpool likely to sign Phillips as City remain reluctant to sell to their Premier League rivals.
Pep Guardiola’s side have every right not to move Phillips to an English team, but given the current market conditions, a club like Liverpool could be their only hope.
With few foreign sides matching City’s aspirations for Phillips, the Manchester giants may need to change their minds to attract Liverpool’s interest. Manchester City could be forced to sell Phillips to Liverpool.
