Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool have called and asked about signing £45m CL-winning midfielder

Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Liverpool have actually enquired about the possibility of signing Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City this summer.

The Reds are still in the market for a new midfielder despite the recent addition of Wataru Endo. They are keen to bolster the middle of their park, and Phillips’ name has come up recently.

Romano has now shared the latest on Kick.

The Englishman was viewed by many as a solid signing for Pep Guardiola‘s side, but he was only given 593 minutes of game time in all competitions last season.

That is why rumours have emerged that he could be lured away from the Etihad this summer, and Liverpool have been linked with a move to get him.

Romano has now revealed that the Reds have actually enquired about signing him.

He said: “Liverpool started the conversation to be informed on the situation of another player, who is Kalvin Phillips.

“It’s true that Liverpool asked about the situation of Kalvin Phillips because the priority of the player has always been to stay at Manchester City and fight for his place at City.

“But then, at the moment, there is no concrete negotiation club to club.”

Kalvin Phillips is a very interesting option for Liverpool.

The 27-year-old clearly has the talent. He has proved his class at the top level for club and country, and under a manager like Jurgen Klopp, he could get even better.

Phillips, a Champions League winner, will not be a regular starter at Manchester City. There’s no way he’s displacing Rodri, but things could be very different at Anfield.

That could make this move a very attractive one, but whether it will happen in the next few days remains to be seen.

Club have just made a record-breaking offer to sign Liverpool player – journalist

Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad have apparently made a ‘huge offer’ to sign Liverpool star Mohamed Salah this summer.

The Reds are focused on strengthening their midfield at the moment, but in what is a shock to many, Rudy Galetti claims on X that they now have a record-breaking offer on the table for their best player – Salah.

Al-Ittihad make ‘huge offer’ to sign Mohamed Salah from Liverpool

Liverpool have already lost Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia, and although it is unlikely, there is now a chance they could lose Mo Salah too.

The Egyptian is undoubtedly the Reds’ best player. He has been absolutely incredible for them over the years, and even in what many felt was a poor campaign last time out, he scored 30 goals and provided 16 assists in all competitions.

That shows just how incredible a player Salah still is, and we’re convinced Liverpool have absolutely no interest in letting him go, especially at this stage of the window.

However, Galetti claims Nuno Espirito Santo’s Al-Ittihad have decided to try their luck with a ‘huge offer’ to sign Salah. If Liverpool end up accepting it, it will break the Saudi record and make the Egyptian the most expensive player in the league’s history, beating Neymar, who cost Al-Hilal £77.3 million (ESPN).

Galetti tweeted: “Al-Ittihad don’t give up for Salah: the club sent a huge offer (more than $100m [£78.4m]) to convince especially Klopp – who rejected the idea of his farewell so far – to let him go.

This really is a very simple decision for Liverpool.

Salah is one of the best players in the world. The ‘phenomenal‘ Egyptian, who turned 31 in June, is still on top of his game, and his numbers last season were nothing short of incredible, especially considering how poor Liverpool were.

We’re not surprised a club from Saudi Arabia is interested in Salah, but it makes no sense for Liverpool to let him go with just over a week left in the transfer window.

If the above-mentioned offer really has arrived, we expect Liverpool to reject it without thinking twice.
