According to The Athletic, Dutch outfit, Feyenoord have expressed interest in Liverpool defender Nat Phillips. The Anfield club values Phillips at £10 million and his aggressive playing style has garnered admiration from the Dutch side.
Feyenoord manager Arne Slot is seeking to strengthen his defense and has targeted Phillips, who hails from Bolton. Although formal talks have not started yet, the opportunity to join Feyenoord is highly appealing to the defender.
Phillips could potentially receive regular playing time and participate in the Champions League if he joins Feyenoord’s squad at De Kuip.
Another interested party is Leeds United, who are aiming to return to the Premier League and may consider pursuing Phillips.

Currently under contract with Liverpool until 2025, the 26-year-old has made limited appearances for the Reds since his debut in 2020, with just five outings across all competitions last season.
The defender spent the 2019/20 season on loan at German second-tier club Stuttgart last season. He then played a crucial role in helping Bournemouth achieve promotion from the Championship during the 2021/22 campaign.
During the previous summer transfer window, Benfica showed interest in obtaining Nat Phillips on a season-long loan. Bournemouth, Burnley, and Southampton also made approaches to sign him.
However, Phillips stayed at Liverpool because the team had defensive injury issues. A similar situation occurred in January when Galatasaray and several German clubs explored potential deals for him.
However, due to an injury to Ibrahima Konate, Klopp decided to keep Phillips as cover until the end of the season.
