Liverpool are poised to make a profit on Celtic target Ben Davies – who could leave Anfield without making a single appearance for the club. The former Preston man joined the Reds instead of Celtic back in January 2021, but is now being linked with a move to the Scottish giants again.
Jurgen Klopp raised more than a few eyebrows when he swooped in to snap up Davies for just £1.6million in a bid to try and ease the Reds’ defensive injury crisis. However, Davies – who was one of the most consistent defenders in the Championship – has failed to muscle his way into the first-team picture at Anfield and could move on permanently this summer after spending last season on loan at Sheffield United.
A new report from The Daily Record has claimed that Davies could be an option for Celtic boss Ange Postecoglu, who is in the market for another centre-back this summer. The Scottish champions are seeking a fresh face to keep the pressure on first-choice defensive duo Carl Starfelt and Cameron Carter-Vickers.
Davies was recently named in a 19-man squad for Liverpool’s early pre-season fixtures by Klopp, however, it is unlikely that the 26-year-old is being considered for a prominent role at Anfield next season.

Nat Phillips is another Liverpool defender who could be on the move this summer. The 25-year-old stepped up in the 2020/21 campaign when the Reds had a dearth of defensive options and impressed during a temporary stint on loan at Bournemouth last season.
The Cherries clinched promotion to the Premier League with Phillips on the books and are now keen on bringing the centre-half back to The Vitality Stadium this summer.
However, Phillips is held in high regard at Anfield – and the Reds may only be willing to sanction another loan deal for the powerful defender, who joined Liverpool as a teenager back in 2016. Like Davies, Phillips is also contracted to the Reds until the summer of 2025.
