The 25 year old, who has spent 11 years at the Etihad Stadium side, already found himself behind rock solid Argentine Pablo Zabaleta in his pursuit of a right-back berth and incoming signing Bacary Sagna would seemingly be a death knell to any hope of a meaningful role under Manuel Pellegrini and as such Brendan Rodgers would do well to land the England man.
Richards can of course play at centre-back but his chances in that regard are even more slim at Man City and having made just two Premier League starts in 2013/14 it would make a great deal of sense for the Birmingham born bit-part player to look for pastures new.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will offer £7m for Richards who may feel confident of fighting Glen Johnson and John Flanagan for a spot in the Merseyside outfit’s starting eleven and the chance of Champions League action is likely to trump apparent offers from Hull City and West Ham.
