Arne Slot and Richard Hughes have DECIDED Harvey Elliott's transfer fate

Liverpool have got plenty of transfer questions to answer this January and heading into summer.

There is the ongoing uncertainty around Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold - who are all out of contract in summer 2025.

If no new deals are agreed then all three could end up leaving for free at the end of their current deals. But there are also decisions to be made over other squad members - including forwards Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.

Nunez, 25, has been the subject of transfer interest from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia while Diaz is involved in a contract standoff which could see him sold before his value drops.

Liverpool WON'T sell Elliott

Elliott, 21, has endured a bitterly frustrating season thus far with a foot injury suffered on England under-21 duty curtailing his progress. He has struggled to force his way into Slot’s starting plans - despite his versatility - and accordingly both Brighton and Borussia Dortmund have been linked with his signature.

Signed from Fulham back in 2019, Elliott is under contract at Anfield until 2027. But the latest report from Football Insider indicates that sporting director Richard Hughes will NOT consider a sale for the playmaker.

That goes for January and for next summer with Slot seeing Elliott as a key squad member for the long term.

Elliott enjoyed his most productive outing to date under the Dutchman at the weekend when he was sprung from the bench against Brentford. With Liverpool requiring some creativity, he twiced unlocked the Bees’ backline and facilitated two goals for Darwin.

After the game he made an impassioned plea that he wanted to remain at the club.

He will be hoping those interventions will kickstart his season and give Slot something to think about. Capable of playing right wing or attacking midfield, Elliott is well-equipped to provide extra artillery for the current Liverpool set-up.
