Liverpool REJECT a £7m offer for Nat Phillips from a Premier League side as Jurgen Klopp's Reds look to stand firm and hold out for £15m - despite the defender revealing he WANTS to leave

Liverpool have rejected a £7million bid from an unnamed Premier League club for defender Nat Phillips as they hold out for £15m.

The 24-year-old defender revealed his desire to leave Anfield last month as he seeks regular first-team football.

Phillips played a key role for boss Jurgen Klopp last season when the Reds were decimated by injuries in defence with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all out for large parts of the campaign.

While Sportsmail understands it is a bid from a Premier League side that has been rejected, Sky have detailed that the centre back is generating interest in Italy from clubs in Serie A.
