Liverpool could be going back for an older target as they attempt to complete their midfield revamp.
The Reds have seen the likes of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, and Fabinho all leave this summer.
While they have brought in three new midfielders, manager Jurgen Klopp wants one more.
Per talkSPORT, the Reds are considering a surprise move for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
The former Leeds United man is a favorite of manager Jurgen Klopp, but has struggled at City.
Phillips has been on the periphery of the City team since signing last summer.
