Wolves have scrapped plans to sign a £40m Liverpool midfielder, marking a surprise twist in what had been one of their key summer pursuits. Talks are believed to have broken down late in the process, with the Molineux side now shifting focus to alternative midfield targets. The collapse could also complicate Liverpool’s outgoing plans, especially as they look to streamline their squad before pre-season.
Liverpool are set to focus on player sales and observe market developments following the imminent arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in the ongoing window.
The Premier League champions need to move on a few players soon to bring in funds and streamline their squad for further additions later in the window.
However, Wolves pulling out of their transfer pursuit of a Liverpool midfielder, Harvey Elliott, could end up complicating things for the Merseyside giants in the coming weeks.

Wolves end transfer plans to sign Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott
According to GiveMeSport, Wolves have abandoned their pursuit of the 22-year-old midfielder in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The club made contact with Liverpool earlier in the window to discuss a potential deal to take Elliott to Molineux ahead of the 2025/26 season.
However, Wolves were deterred by the amount of money Liverpool wanted before agreeing to sell the midfielder this summer.
The Black Country club are in no mood to pay in excess of £40m for Elliott in the ongoing transfer window.
Wolves are now considering alternative targets, and Brighton are the favourites to sign the Liverpool star this summer.
The Seagulls have stepped up their pursuit of Elliott and are growing increasingly confident of securing a deal for his signature.
More importantly, Brighton are prepared to meet Liverpool’s asking price for the midfielder in the coming weeks.
