They were ‘deterred’ by Elliott’s asking price when they touched base with Liverpool.
Harvey Elliott scored one of the best goals of this summer’s European Under-21 Championship, just hours after a Premier League club reportedly abandoned a move for the Liverpool midfielder.
The 22-year-old scored twice on Wednesday afternoon as England secured their place in the Euros final following a hard-fought 2-1 win over the Netherlands.
Elliott, who has netted four times for the Young Lions this summer, has been one of the tournament’s standout performers as speculation continues over his uncertain future at Liverpool.
Liverpool are said to have placed a £40 million price tag on the former Fulham man, which has ‘deterred’ fellow Premier League side Wolves from making a move, according to journalist Dean Jones.
“Wolves were deterred by Harvey Elliott’s asking price when they touched base about a deal,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Brighton are showing more willingness around a £40 million valuation.”
Last month, Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that Elliott, who was once hailed as a “sensational talent” by Jurgen Klopp, is being tracked by a number of interested parties.
“A departure of Harvey Elliott is possible,” wrote Plettenberg on X. “There are many interesting enquiries, and talks are ongoing. Liverpool would not stand in his way if a suitable offer comes in. His contract runs until 2027.”
The attacking midfielder, who joined Liverpool in 2019, made 28 appearances in all competitions for the Reds in 2024/25, but the majority of those came from the substitutes bench.
In fact, he made just six starts, including one in the Premier League.
