Report: Newcastle make unexpected £50m offer to sign Liverpool forward; ‘deal could be difficult to turn down’

Liverpool is anticipated to have a very active summer transfer window, with several players expected to leave.

The futures of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are still up in the air, as both enter the final year of their contracts without clear updates on possible extensions. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Trent Alexander-Arnold could join Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season, having reportedly agreed on personal terms.

In addition, players like Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez are all being linked with potential summer moves. Liverpool is said to be open to selling Jota and Nunez, while Diaz is reportedly keen on a move to Barcelona.

Newcastle United has reportedly placed a £50m (€60m) bid for Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, aiming to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Despite Elliott being a key figure for Liverpool, the offer could prove difficult to turn down. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder, under contract until 2027, has faced challenges with regular playing time this season due to injury. However, he has still made an impact, registering four goals and two assists, including a decisive goal in the Champions League against PSG.

Although Elliott’s market value is around €35 million, Newcastle’s offer is significantly higher, indicating they are willing to pay more for him. His future is expected to be determined in the coming weeks, with intense discussions underway. While Liverpool fans would like to see him stay, the club could be tempted to sell if such a sizable offer is made.
