Liverpool to greenlight shock £50m transfer to Premier League rivals

The Merseyside giants will soon shift their focus to player sales to raise more funds and increase their chances of adding more players to their squad. Liverpool are prepared to let a top player seek a transfer to their Premier League rivals in the upcoming transfer window.

The club’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz has grabbed headlines this summer, and the Bayer Leverkusen star is set to complete the switch in the coming days for a club-record fee.

However, his arrival will mean that the club will also have to move on a few players as the Reds still need one more centre-back and a striker in the summer.

Wirtz’s impending transfer to Liverpool will also be the final nail in the career of one Liverpool star, who is wanted for a transfer at several Premier League clubs this summer.

Liverpool to sanction star’s transfer to Premier League rivals

Harvey Elliott has won a Premier League winners’ medal, but has been nothing more than a bit-part player at Liverpool under Arne Slot this season.

Liverpool were still considering whether to sell him a few weeks back, but Wirtz’s impending arrival will almost certainly end his time on Merseyside.

According to GiveMeSport, the German attacking midfielder’s arrival means Liverpool will now seek to sell Elliott in the upcoming summer transfer window.

A number of Premier League clubs, such as Newcastle United, Wolves and Nottingham Forest, are interested in getting their hands on the attacking midfielder.

Liverpool have no problem in sanctioning his transfer to one of their Premier League rivals if they agree to pay a £50m fee for him.

Elliott is considering his options, and guaranteed playing minutes will be a key consideration when he chooses his next club in the upcoming transfer window.
