Liverpool now ready to sell player Slot’s “delighted” with after £50m+ bid

Liverpool are now thought to be willing to sell a first-team member who has “delighted” Arne Slot in 2025 despite the manager’s admiration for the player.

Liverpool eyeing new signings to replace Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Salah

The Reds look set for a hectic transfer window this summer, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah all yet to pen contract extensions.

It looks likely that Alexander-Arnold will depart for Real Madrid, and there are question marks over Van Dijk and Salah respective futures. As a result, Liverpool have been on the search for potential replacements for the star trio.

Slot has already held talks over a move to sign Bayer Leverkusen full-back Jeremie Frimpong, whereas Nico Schlotterbeck of Borussia Dortmund may replace Van Dijk and Real Madrid’s Rodrygo is identified as a replacement for Salah.

However, there could be more Anfield exits on the cards ahead of the 2025/26 season, with Liverpool open to selling one player in particular.

Liverpool ready to sell Harvey Elliott after £50m+ Newcastle offer

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Liverpool look ready to sell Harvey Elliott this summer, amid interest from Newcastle United.

It is believed that the Reds are ‘willing to cash in in order to bolster what is already a significant transfer kitty’, whereas Elliott himself ‘may have to accept he will need to find a new club if determined to be a regular starter’.

This comes after claims of a £50m+ offer being submitted by Newcastle for Elliott

, and TEAMtalk suggest the Magpies and Eddie Howe are indeed keen. Slot admitted at the beginning of the year that he was “delighted” with the midfielder’s display from the bench back in January against Brentford.

“I was delighted by his performance when he came on. It’s so nice for me, for us as a team, that I have players that can impact the game on the bench as well.”

Slot praised Elliott again just last month, days after his winner at PSG by helping Liverpool defeat Southampton at Anfield.

“He came in 15 minutes before the end again and showed how important he is for this team and the others as well. He trains really, he does this and – I said it many times about Wata and I can say the same about Harvey – he hardly gets any playing time but he keeps on going and then when your moment comes, you can finally show your quality.

“And that is the biggest compliment I can give him, but also the biggest compliment is what he brings to the team is that he just keeps on going because I have experienced more than enough players who are in the same position as him or Wata and they start to do less and less and when you do play them you (journalists) probably don’t ask me why I don’t play them.”

However, despite Slot’s high thoughts on Elliott, it looks as if he could be on the way out of Anfield relatively soon going off the recent transfer update.
