The centre-back will ultimately slide back down the pecking order once the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip return from injury.

And boss Jurgen Klopp added even more competition to the ranks when landing Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig.

It is believed that talks between Phillips and the Clarets are at an advanced stage, though nothing has been set in stone.

The Reds star, who spent time on loan with Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga, scored and kept a clean sheet at Turf Moor in May.

Speculation surrounding a move for Neco Williams - a team-mate of Nat Phillips - has quietened somewhat over the past week.

The 20-year-old defender has a number of admirers in the Premier League with Liverpool seemingly happy to sell at the right price.

The right-sided full-back has made 12 appearances for the former champions in the top flight and featured in Champions League games against Atalanta, Ajax and RB Leipzig this term.

Williams, who has been with the Reds since the age of nine, also featured in Wales's Euro 2020 campaign as they reached the round of 16.

He started against Italy at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and appeared from the bench in games against Turkey and Denmark.

Leeds United and Southampton are also reportedly keeping tabs on the young defender - with Aston Villa's interest cooling following the arrival of Burnley target Ashley Young.

Martin Braithwaite [Barcelona]

The Barcelona striker is still away on international duty after he netted against Wales to help Denmark progress to the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.

The 30-year-old scored his nation's fourth goal in a comfortable win over Rob Page's side in the round of 16 tie at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Braithwaite has played all-but five minutes in the tournament so far as the Danes take on the Czech Republic for a place in the semi-final.

However, his time at the Nou Camp appears to be over following the arrivals of Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay.

The ex-Middlesbrough forward was signed as emergency cover up front after a spate of injuries in 2019-20 and went on to score three league goals in 15 starts for the La Liga giants.

The former Leganes forward - who played alongside Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann - scored three times in last season's Champions League campaign.
