Top-tier English football clubs exhibit interest in acquiring Liverpool's high-value player, with purchase price exceeding £40 million.
Harvey Elliott's Liverpool Future on the Line as Premier League Clubs Circle
The 22-year-old Liverpool midfielder, Harvey Elliott, finds himself in the spotlight as a plethora of Premier League suitors, including Wolves, cast their gaze upon him. Elliott has voiced his concerns about his future with the champions, having started only one Premier League game this season.
Liverpool's High Valuation and Potential Departures
With Liverpool valuing Elliott, a stalwart since joining from Fulham at 16, in excess of £40million, the question remains if suitors would be willing to pay such a hefty price. Manchester United's target Matheus Cunha is expected to be sold, and the funds gained from that sale could potentially bolster Wolves' bid for Elliott. The Brazilian forward has a £62.5m release clause in his contract, with Arsenal and Newcastle also vying for his services.
Elliott's Struggles for Game Time
Elliott has experienced a limited role in the 2022/23 season, making 20 appearances off the bench and scoring four goals with two assists. Despite his infrequent opportunities, Elliott has shown his worth in key moments, such as assisting Federico Chiesa in the Carabao Cup final and netting the winner against Paris Saint-Germain in France. Yet, Liverpool's focus on their second league title of the Premier League era resulted in Elliott's impact dwindling, with just one assist in 15 games.
Wolves' Ambition to Attract Elliott
Wolves see Elliott as a pivotal piece in their team's future, promising him more playing time than he enjoys at Liverpool. Elliott's desire for regular game time, coupled with Liverpool's high valuation of their homegrown talent, could leave the door open for a move to Wolves. Without substantial bids emerging, though, Elliott may find himself donning the Red jersey for the foreseeable future.
