Liverpool fans will be aware that we are edging nearer and nearer to the January transfer window and one reported target seems to be touted for a move after Christmas.
Speaking with the press, Pep Guardiola spoke about Kalvin Phillips and said: “I don’t know what’s going to happen [in January]. I feel so sorry for my decision for him. I’ve said that many times.
“He doesn’t deserve what has happened to him and I’m so sorry.
“The only thing I can say about him is I am asking for good personalities and characters and he is a perfect example. And after that I have to give him something and I didn’t do that.”
It seems clear that the Spaniard feels guilty about the lack of minutes that he’s handed to the Leeds-born midfielder and so a move away from the Etihad Stadium looks likely.
Given the number of links for the 28-year-old possibly moving to Anfield, then perhaps Jurgen Klopp could be poised to make his move for the England international.
