Celtic flop Nat Phillips is reportedly expected to leave Liverpool this summer.
The central defender joined the Parkhead outfit in the summer of 2023 on an initial six-month loan.
Phillips' tenure in Glasgow's east end ultimately didn't go to plan, as he played just eight times in all competitions.

The 28-year-old promptly returned to Anfield, although he is now expected to leave Liverpool this summer, claims The Athletic.
Phillips spent last season on loan at Derby County in the English Championship, although it remains to be seen where he may end up come the beginning of the 2025/26 campaign.
News of his potential exit comes shortly after ex-Celtic winger Gary Mackay-Steven was released by Kilmarnock.
The Rugby Park club recently provided a squad update following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season.
Mackay-Steven was named as one of 15 players whose contracts are expiring and are set to depart.
The wide man played 62 times in the green and white of Celtic in a two-and-a-half-year spell at the club after joining, alongside Stuart Armstrong, from Dundee United in 2015.
Elsewhere, Rennes are said to have held positive talks with Brentford over the sale of Kyogo Furuhashi.
It was reported earlier this month that Kyogo is 'expected' to leave the French club, with Bournemouth interested in finding out the terms of a potential transfer.
Now, a new team from England's top flight has emerged in the race in the form of Brentford. Indeed, reports from Le Parisien [via RecordSport] claim that Rennes have held 'positive' talks with the London club regarding a potential deal.
Thomas Frank's side finished 10th in the Premier League last season.
