Leeds United are hoping to land Liverpool defender Nat Phillips for around £10m this summer, according to reports. But any hopes new Whites boss Daniel Farke had of securing a loan deal for the 26-year-old could be dashed.
The Reds defender is set to leave Anfield this summer after a season which saw him barely feature for Jurgen Klopp's side. Farke is believed to be a long-time fan of Phillips, having monitored his career since his time with Norwich City.
However, any loan move is likely to rejected by Liverpool, with the Premier League side looking for a permanent deal for the defender. Alan Nixon reported last weekend that a loan bid would be rebuffed, with Liverpool looking for a transfer fee.
