Arne Slot has been a busy man in the summer transfer window with numerous names getting linked with an Anfield switch.
Some players, such as Florian Wirtz and Armin Pecsi, have already completed their moves to Merseyside, while others are edging closer each day.
However, with all the changes going on at Liverpool this summer, there has to be some sales so that the Reds can recoup some of their money and continue abiding by the Premier League’s PSR rules.
Caoimhin Kelleher was the first to exit Anfield, with Nat Phillips following not too far behind him.
However, now that Milos Kerkez is set to join, Slot is going to have to bring even more money in so that he can still dip into his war chest should opportunities for any other players pop up.
Wolves are now interested in making a £40million move for Harvey Elliott
One player who has been heavily linked with a move away from Liverpool is Harvey Elliott.
The midfielder was brought in by Jurgen Klopp, and during the German’s time in charge of the Merseyside outfit, Elliott became a key cog in his system.
However, throughout the 2024-25 campaign, the Englishman hasn’t been chosen by Slot, which has resulted in Elliott admitting that he could be on his way out of Anfield.
And, as per a new report from journalist Dean Jones via his Patreon, it seems like multiple Premier League clubs are vying for his transfer.
The report outlines that Brighton haven’t been ‘put off’ by Liverpool’s asking price of £40million, with talks likely to ‘progress soon.’
Wolves are then mentioned as a ‘possibility’ with Vitor Pereira eyeing the Englishman as a replacement for Matheus Cunha after his exit.
The report rounds things up by saying that now that Joao Pedro is ‘potentially’ heading to Chelsea or Newcastle, the Seagulls are now ‘seriously considering’ a move.
Harvey Elliott needs to leave Liverpool for his own career
There’s no denying that Elliott is an exceptional talent; the midfielder has a keen eye for goal and can pick out a pass from anywhere on the pitch.
However, with Wirtz now joining and Dominik Szoboszlai almost certainly ahead of him in his preferred position of attacking midfield, it’s hard to see where his game time would come from next term.
If Liverpool can offload the Englishman for around £40million and include a buy-back clause in the deal like they’ve done for Jarell Quansah, it could be a move that works out for both parties.
Indeed, it’s hard to guess what Liverpool’s team will look like by the time the 2025-26 season kicks off, but at the moment, it feels unlikely that Elliott will be a Liverpool player.
That is, especially when two Premier League teams will be able to offer him regular game time in his preferred position.
