Defender Nat Phillips chances of leaving Liverpool on transfer deadline day are not looking positive.

The center-back was hoping to join Galatasaray permanently, per The Athletic.

However, an injury to Ibrahima Konate means that such a move appears very unlikely.

The source adds that Gala were hoping for a loan, while Liverpool wanted to sell.

The Turkish giants have instead secured Kaan Ayhan from Sassuolo on loan until the end of the season.

Phillips will likely remain at Liverpool until the summer.
