'SELFISH' £50m Liverpool forward admits it could be time to move | OneFootball

There are STILL several moving parts to Liverpool’s summer transfer window. We have seen Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili arrive for well over £250m combined but the Reds aren’t stopping there.

Incredibly, a chase for Alexander Isak is still possible - with Newcastle’s centre-forward potentially coming in for a British record fee.

The signing of so many capable forward players spells danger for some of Arne Slot’s 2024/25 Premier League winners. Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez are at immediate risk.

Diaz, 28, is adamant about gaining a summer transfer to Bayern Munich while Nunez is the subject of approaches from Saudi Arabia.

Elliott considering his future

With Ekitike and Wirtz coming into the club, it could mean limited opportunities for Liverpool’s South American duo.

Also at risk is Harvey Elliott.

The England under-21 attacking midfielder has enjoyed a decent summer - helping his country to the UEFA Euro U21 crown - but is facing an uncertain future at club level.

Having made only TWO Premier League starts last season, the 22-year-old is arguably even further down the pecking order following the arrival of Florian Wirtz.

With Mo Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai already ahead of him in his preferred positions, Wirtz will complicate Elliott’s quest for minutes even further.

It’s why the player is said to be considering a transfer - and he has admitted to the Anfield Wrap that it might be time to move on.

"Selfish" Elliott knows the writing is on the wall

Describing his outlook as “selfish”, Elliott remarked on the number of incomings that had been conducted by sporting director Richard Hughes this summer.

He would be a reluctant departure - given his status as a Liverpool fan - but in a World Cup year he has got to do what is best for his career.

“Look, if I had it my way, I’d be here for the rest of my career, it’s as simple as that, I love everything about the club,” Elliott said.

“But at the same time I kind of need to be selfish with myself and see what’s best for me.

“I have big ambitions. I want to go to the World Cup. I want to keep being successful as a player.

“I think it’s still something I need to review. I need to have a talk with everyone, really and review the situation because we’ve had many new players come in, so whether it blocks the path for me I’m not sure, it’s something I need to decide and have a look at.

“My main focus is here now. At the moment I’m here for the season, as far as I’m aware, unless if anything changes, we have a busy pre-season, it’s non-stop, I need to make sure I’m focus on that and just be ready for everything.”

Elliott is currently with the Liverpool squad in Asia for preseason.

His fate is undecided with the likes of as interested in his signature. Liverpool could seek a fee of around £50m for the two-time title winner - who is under contract until 2027.
