Ben Davies looks set to be on the move this summer after being left out of Liverpool’s squad for their pre-season tour of Asia, with a return to the Championship seemingly looking likely.
The defender joined the Reds from Preston North End for an initial £500k in February 2021 as they responded to their severe defensive injury crisis, but failed to make an appearance for the club with Nat Phillips, Ozan Kabak and Rhys Williams still ahead of him in the pecking order at the time. Warming the bench eight times, with only four coming in the Premier League, he featured twice in pre-season last year before leaving for Sheffield United on loan.
Now back at Anfield, the 26-year-old is understood to want to sort his future out and has been the subject of interest, with Celtic and Middlesbrough both contacting the Reds earlier this summer. Meanwhile, the latest reports credit both Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City with interest in the defender.
