The Reds are reportedly one of several clubs chasing the signature of the England midfielder, who has started just two Premier League matches since joining the Citizens from Leeds last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips sustained a shoulder injury shortly after moving to the Etihad Stadium and was ruled out for three months ahead of last year\u2019s World Cup in Qatar. And since returning from the layoff he has been unable to nail down a regular starting place in the Citizens&#8217; team.<\/p>\n<p>According to talkSPORT, Phillips is on Liverpool\u2019s shortlist for the January transfer window, with Newcastle, Tottenham and Fulham also in the mix to sign him. And Guardiola has suggested he would sanction the player\u2019s prospective move to Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever. Never ever,\u201d replied the Spaniard when asked if he would stop an unsettled player from joining a serious rival. \u201cFrom my point of view, I have said this to the club many times. I give my opinion to the club and they decide if the transfer suits for both sides and the player.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Arsenal, Tottenham and Man Utd face suspension threat ahead of PL games<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5060787.jpg?r=1699700760881\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy? I think that means you are a small club [if you block a transfer]. Big clubs, they don\u2019t care. They make decisions for the benefit of all three parties &#8211; players and both clubs. And the agents sometimes. So really, it is not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they want to go to Chelsea or [Manchester] United or, I don\u2019t know, Liverpool, whatever, what is the problem? They are happy to be there and the club is happy with the transfer. The other club is happy with the amount of money they spend, so it is fine. Another player will come to us and we keep going in a good spirit and a good mood.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Sir Jim Ratcliffe to put three Man Utd stars &#8216;up for sale&#8217; as Antony red-faced[TAKEOVER] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Erik ten Hag may fear Sir Jim Ratcliffe plan after brutal Ralf Rangnick snub[EXCLUSIVE] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd WAGs include Dennis Bergkamp&#8217;s daughter and high school sweethearts[INSIGHT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5060798.jpg?r=1699700760988\"><\/p>\n<p>Phillips secured a mega-money transfer to the Etihad Stadium after starring for Leeds. The 27-year-old made 234 appearances for the Yorkshire giants and helped them win the Championship title under Marcelo Bielsa in 2020. He was also an influential figure during England\u2019s run to the Euro 2020 final and featured twice at last year\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>And with Euro 2024 approaching, Phillips has already spoken out about his desire to be playing football. \u201cI know that I need to be playing games and competing every weekend,\u201d he said last month. \u201cI&#8217;m going to have to make a decision on [my future] over the next months.
