PL club ready to step up talks to sign “quality” Liverpool star with £50m asking price | OneFootball

Liverpool are reportedly open to letting Harvey Elliott go this summer, and it seems that’s sparked interest from a few Premier League clubs.

The Reds haven’t quite seen the best of Elliott in his time at Anfield so far, despite him arriving with the reputation of being a real wonderkid when he first joined from former club Fulham.

It now seems Fulham are interested in re-signing Elliott, though the strongest interest seems to be coming from Wolves.

That’s according to a report from Give Me Sport, which states that Wolves are hoping to step up talks over a potential deal for Elliott, who could cost around £50m.

Elliott is still young and could have it in him to have a great career at Anfield if given more opportunities to start games.

Still, it seems LFC are prepared to cash in on the 22-year-old, and he might well feel he’d be better off trying a new challenge at this point in his career.

Despite Arne Slot previously describing Elliott as someone with “quality”, as per the Athletic, actions speak louder than words, and the Dutch tactician hasn’t made that much use of the youngster this season.

Harvey Elliott sale could be useful for Liverpool

Even if Liverpool might live to regret it if Elliott goes on to shine elsewhere, there’s also a decent argument for trying to raise transfer funds right now.

If Liverpool could get something close to £50m for Elliott, that could be spent on strengthening in other areas of Slot’s squad.

Give Me Sport note that the Merseyside giants have been linked with Florian Wirtz, and since he surely won’t come cheap, any extra money towards that deal would be useful.
