“If they were to sell him they could turn a profit though because he didn’t cost much.”
Liverpool could sell central defender Ben Davies for a profit this summer despite being yet to make his debut, according to former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
The Reds were believed to have hijacked a deal that would see Davies join Celtic from Preston North End this summer, signing the 25-year-old as an emergency defender amidst an injury crisis.
Arriving on the same day as Ozan Kabak, who joined on loan from Schalke, Davies is yet to make an appearance for Jurgen Klopp’s side, despite being fit and available.
Robinson has told Football Insider, the Reds could feasibly make a profit on their £2m outlay this summer regardless of whether he plays or not.
“If you are Davies you certainly do not want to leave so soon after signing so perhaps a loan would be beneficial for him next year. It is going to be extremely difficult for him to force his way into the Liverpool side when everybody is fit,”
