HARV PRICE Liverpool set Harvey Elliott asking price with England U21 Euros hero tipped for transfer to Champions League rivals

A deal worth £40m would be enough to seal the deal - provided Arne Slot's Liverpool retained a buy-back clause, reports The Athletic.
The fee without such a buy-back option would have to exceed £50m to convince the Reds to sell.
Liverpool's recent £30m sale of Jarrell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen is viewed as a point of reference when determining the youngster's value.
Jobe Bellingham's £32m move from Sunderland to Borussia Dortmund earlier in the window provides a similar benchmark, with Elliott having considerably more top-level experience than the teenage star.

Elliott joined Liverpool as a prodigious teenager from Fulham in 2019, and has made 94 appearances for the Reds since, bagging himself 18 goal contributions.
With two years left on his contract, Elliott has hinted that he is open to a challenge elsewhere - with Champions League clubs understood to be circling.
The Athletic name RB Leipzig as among those interested - although the Germans will not be able to offer European football having failed to qualify for any competitions.
SunSport revealed that Brighton are keen on the midfield ace. However, they too can not meet any European football desires.

When asked about his Liverpool future ahead of his Euros campaign, Elliott told Hayters TV: "I am coming to an age where I do not want to be wasting years of my career.
"I want to be the best player I can be, and if [the way to do] that is to go somewhere else, then it is a decision that I am going to have to make."

Elliott's list of suitors has been bolstered by his outstanding contribution in England's recent U21 Euros title defence.
Elliott's brace saw England through a tight semi-final against the Netherlands, before he opened the scoring in the final against Germany three days later.
His performances earned him the player of the tournament award, an accolade most recently won by Newcastle's Anthony Gordon.
Slot is believed to be undecided on Elliott, although sources told SunSport the Dutchman would be unlikely to stand in his way if he wanted to leave and if a deal could be agreed that suited club and player.

Transfer news live as Arsenal strike Gyokeres deal and Man Utd chase midfielder
The weather might be (mercifully) cooling down today but the summer transfer window is well and truly heating up. Liverpool have already smashed the British transfer record and more big deals are in the pipeline. The biggest of them all right now would appear to be Arsenal's pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres, which reports now claim is at an advanced stage. Manchester United are also chasing a striker but it seemingly won't be Gyokeres leading the line at Old Trafford. They're said to be keen on Ollie Watkins and the PSG midfielder, Fabian Ruiz. Liverpool's spending isn't done with talks over a deal for Marc Guehi expected to take place. And the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham are also expected to push for big incomings between now and the end of August. Luis Diaz is now being linked with a move to Bayern Munich. The Colombia star, 28, has held talks with the German champions' sporting director, Max Eberl, according to Bild. It remains to be seen if Diaz will depart Anfield this summer, but he continues to be linked with a transfer... One player who isn't moving anywhere is Antoine Semenyo. Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle have all courted the Ghana star this summer. But Semenyo has committed his future to Bournemouth by signing a new five-year deal. Fabian Ruiz was on Manchester United's radar back in 2022. But Footmercato claim the PSG star is once again attracting interest from the Red Devils. The 29-year-old is also being courted by Al-Nassr but has two years left to run on his current deal with the European champions. The big news, then. Sky Sports claim that Arsenal and Sporting are in advanced talks over the transfer of Viktor Gyokeres, who has already agreed a five-year deal. Arsenal fans have been wondering for weeks whether they'd move for Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko. If these latest reports are on the money, then they might finally have their answer... Good morning and welcome to our live transfer blog. There's plenty to get through, so lets get started...

Goalkeeper Danny Ward looking forward to Wrexham challenge
The goalkeeper, 32, has re-joined his home-town club on a contract until the end of the 2026-27 season after leaving Leicester City who will come up against the Reds in the Championship next term following the Foxes relegation from the Premier League. A product of the academy at The Racecourse, Welsh international Ward made the switch to Liverpool in January 2012 for a fee of around £100,000 having made one competitive appearance for Wrexham when he started the 2-1 Welsh Cup third round defeat at home to Airbus on December 3 2011. The side was made up of youngsters because it was the same day Andy Morrell's senior side caused a huge FA Cup second round shock by winning 1-0 against Brentford at Griffin Park. Ward, who had successful loan spells with Aberdeen and Huddersfield Town while at Liverpool before signing for Leicester City for around £12.5 million in July 2018, does not count his run-out against Airbus as a first-team outing and can't wait to finally play a game for Wrexham. "I still don't class Airbus as a first-team game," said the stopper. "I know it was at The Racecourse but there wasn't many fans there, everyone was down at Griffin Park watching Jamie Tolley whack one in! "One sort of gripe I had when I left for Liverpool was that I always wanted to play a first-team game for Wrexham. "Even though it was a great opportunity with Liverpool and a brilliant new chapter, it was something that stuck with me and something I always wanted to accomplish. "To have that chance now coming back is a special feeling." Ward was released by Leicester, where he made 29 league appearances in seven seasons, at the end of the 2024-25 campaign and he jumped at the chance to move back to the club where he began his career. "Exciting times," said Ward. "It was slightly strange driving in to the ground (to sign) but an amazing feeling. "I have had a busy summer. I went away and got married, I have had the international break and while I was away, I learned of the interest from Wrexham. "As soon as I heard it, it was something I wanted to happen - 100 per cent. MORE WREXHAM AFC NEWS "Everyone knows my feelings for the club and my history with it so I wanted to get it done. "The club means a lot to me. Even before I signed as an academy player and my time at Colliers Park, I used to get on the train from Hawarden to come and watch games just after we'd been relegated from the league. "And then to be part of the club and come through the system, and have an insight into what it takes to be a professional, the grounding it gave me at an early age making my way in the game was unbelievable. "It is something that set me on my way and I will forever be grateful for that, and hopefully now I can repay that a little bit."
