Liverpool set conditions for Harvey Elliott sale | OneFootball

Liverpool would be willing to part ways with Harvey Elliott this summer if they receive a "good offer", according to a report.

Elliott signed for Liverpool when he was still 16 in the summer of 2019. After a formative loan spell in the Championship with Blackburn Rovers in 2020/21, the diminutive playmaker threatened to establish himself as a first-team regular under Jurgen Klopp before suffering a gruesome ankle injury.

The boyhood Liverpool fan was a regular squad player during Klopp's final two seasons at the helm but has found minutes more difficult to come by under Arne Slot. Despite making some impressive contributions off the bench, Elliott is yet to start a single Premier League game this season.

This chronic lack of opportunities has left Elliott "angry and frustrated" by his own admission, although he has always stressed his desire to fight for his place on Merseyside. Liverpool, however, may have different plans for the slight left-footer.

Elliott was one of five players the club would be prepared to sell this summer. A new report from Sky Sports has underscored that stance, revealing that a "good offer would be accepted".

As Liverpool signed Elliott from Fulham while he was still a minor, the two clubs had to go to a tribunal before an independent Professional Football Compensation Committee decided the final financial package. The Reds agreed to give Fulham an initial sum of £1.5m with a further £2.8m in performance-related add-ons, thereby making Elliott the most expensive 16-year-old in English football history at the time.

After nine years of senior football and five pieces of silverware, Liverpool would be expecting to make a significant profit on their investment.

Whether Elliott would be so keen to leave Anfield is another question entirely. The London-born midfielder has a contract until 2027 and - more pertinently - grew up in a Liverpool-mad household. The family dog is called Paisley after the legendary Reds manager and his father bought the Liverpool sign which hung over the club's former training ground at auction. By all accounts, the Merseyside outfit are keen on opening up a bidding war for Elliott this summer.
