Liverpool reportedly want Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips as a Fabinho replacement

<p>

Liverpool could sign Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips as Fabinho's anticipated £40million transfer to Saudi Arabia nears completion. </p>

<p>

The offer from Al-Ittihad was received by Liverpool on Friday, prompting them to grant Fabinho permission to undergo a medical examination. </p>

<p>

The 29-year-old has not accompanied Jurgen Klopp's squad to their pre-season training camp in Germany and is expected to join the Saudi Pro League side. </p>

<p>

In the interim, Liverpool have been searching for a replacement for the former Monaco player. According to Sky Sports, Phillips is among the players being considered by the Reds. </p>

<p>

The report also mentions that Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch and Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat are on their radar. </p>

<p>

Phillips faced difficulties in securing playing time during his debut season at City, featuring in only 21 matches across all competitions as Pep Guardiola's team achieved a treble. </p>

<p>

In fact, the 27-year-old started in only four games, with Rodri being preferred over him in the defensive midfield position. </p>

<p>

While the former Leeds midfielder is eager to remain at the Etihad, he could be sold, with Liverpool, West Ham, and Newcastle being potential suitors. </p>
