It has been claimed that Benfica attempted to sign Liverpool defender Nat Phillips during transfer deadline.
Nathaniel Phillips returned from a loan at Bournemouth following the closing of last season Championship campaign after the Liverpool defender helped the Cherries gain promotion to the top-flight.
The Liverpool defender was also tipped to make a return to the club on permanent basis this summer but continued under Jurgen Klopp.
Now, James Pearce of the Athletic has disclosed that Benfica who's acquired a huge sum from the sale of Darwin Nunez - offered the 25-year-old the chance to move to the Portuguese top-flight. Pearce stated that the Premira Liga club's offer came after an injury to Ibrahima Konate which is not a good one for Jurgen Klopp.
