Liverpool could be on the verge of parting ways with a fan favourite, with reports suggesting a shock £40m exit is close to being finalised. The player’s departure, if confirmed, would mark a surprising twist in the Reds’ summer plans and stir emotions among the Anfield faithful.
The Merseyside giants are ready to get a move on in their attempts to raise funds through player sales in the coming weeks, with the players expected to return for pre-season training in a couple of weeks.
They are about to confirm the arrival of Florian Wirtz for a record fee, but the club are also aware that they need to balance their books through a few sales soon.
Liverpool are now prepared to sanction the shock exit of a midfielder, whom they rate highly, if a club are prepared to match their asking price for him.

Liverpool ready to sanction shock exit
Harvey Elliott has indicated that he is ready to leave Liverpool this summer after his game time drastically dropped under Arne Slot last season.
Newcastle United and Aston Villa are among the clubs that are keen to secure a deal for his signature in the ongoing transfer window.
According to The Athletic, Elliott is still rated highly at Liverpool, and the club understand the player’s need to play more football next season.
However, the Reds are not prepared to sell him for a knock-down price as they feel the midfielder is an elite talent who must command a big fee.
Liverpool want more than £40m before agreeing to sell the player, no matter what he wants in the ongoing transfer window.
The Reds do not want to lose him for a small fee, and while they understand his need to play more, the club want to maximise their profits.
