According to British media GiveMeSport, Liverpool is very interested in Brentford defender Collins, but the players are unlikely to transfer this summer, and the Reds are also considering other options. The report said that Liverpool is closely monitoring Brentford defender Nathan Collins, the 24-year-old is one of several centre-backs inspected by the Reds before the new season.

Since joining for a transfer fee of £23m in 2023, Collins has performed well and has become a key figure in Brentford's defense, now the team captain, and Brentford trusts him completely and believes he will devote himself to it.

However, with its excellent command ability, calmness and having proven itself in the Premier League, Collins has attracted the attention of the Liverpool signing team, which is exploring options to strengthen the backline in the coming months.

Although Liverpool has a great appreciation for Collins within, the current interest is still in the preliminary tentative stage and has not yet had any contact. Brentford did not have any conversations about the sale, and it is reported that the club regards Collins as a key member of the new head coach's plan.

Since Collins still has four years of contract and the player himself shows no sign of leaving, the possibility of a deal this summer is very small. People familiar with the matter said that Brentford's current position is very clear: Collins is not a seller.

Last season, Collins made 42 appearances in various competitions (2 goals and 3 assists), and he was highly praised for his outstanding aerial confrontation, sense of position and defensive leadership. Although Liverpool's interest in it reflects his growing reputation, he is not expected to transfer unless things change significantly.

As of now, Collins is expected to remain at Brentford this summer, while Liverpool will continue to evaluate other defensive signing options to prepare for the new season. Although Liverpool was interested in him, the door was still firmly closed.
