Richard Hughes to accept £25m deal for unwanted midfielder Big changes are coming to Liverpool’s midfield this summer. We’ve seen the likes of Eduardo Camavinga and Adam Wharton linked with an Anfield arrival as Arne Slot and Richard Hughes plot an overhaul. For new signings to be accommodated exits are a near certainty.
We may end up seeing Alexis Mac Allister leave with the 27-year-old out of form and having only two years left on his contract. Curtis Jones meanwhile has been linked with a move to Inter Milan as contract talks with his boyhood club are at an impasse. Harvey Elliott's future to be decided There is a lot of sorting out to do with Harvey Elliott as well.
In an ideal world the outgoing Premier League champions would be now banking £35m for the creative midfielder. Elliott, 23, moved to Aston Villa for a season-long loan on transfer deadline day - with a view to a permanent deal should he reach 10 Premier League games. The move has been an embarrassment for all concerned - with the England under-21 star now set to return to the AXA Training Ground for preseason training.
But Elliott is only under contract for another 12 months and given his status under Arne Slot it would be a massive surprise if he signed a new deal. Therefore it would be natural to assume that the Anfield side will again look for buyers this summer. £25m enough to secure Elliott deal RB Leipzig are thought to be keen and the Premier League title-winner is sure to have interest from around the top flight.
