Liverpool have now made it clear how much it would cost to prise Harvey Elliott away from Anfield amidst reports that Tottenham, as well as other Premier League and European clubs, are plotting a move for the midfielder.
Elliott struggled to get into Arne Slot’s starting eleven last season, making just two league starts for the Premier League champions.
However, the youngster’s stock is now very high on the back of his impressive showing at the European Under-21 Championship, where he scored five goals in six matches to help England retain the title and was named the Player of the Tournament.
It emerged a couple of days ago that Tottenham were one of several clubs who had enquired about Elliott, who allegedly wants to leave Liverpool in search of regular game time.
Liverpool will not let Elliott leave on a discount this summer
The Athletic have now confirmed that Harvey Elliott is indeed attracting plenty of transfer interest, but Liverpool are expected to demand more for the youngster than they did for Jarell Quansah, who has joined Bayer Leverkusen in a £30m deal.
The report explains that the Merseyside club are willing to accept £40m for the midfielder as long as they have a buy-back option on the player.
However, if interested clubs are not willing to give Liverpool a buy-back option for Elliott, they would have to pay above £50m to land the Fulham academy graduate.
🚨 Arsenal put Eberechi Eze high among options to bolster attack. No contact with #CPFC yet – unclear if needs exit but serious candidate + separate to striker & winger. #AFC would look to pay below release clause. #THFC not pursuing for now @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/px2xCo8CEj

Tottenham could have one advantage in race for Harvey Elliott
The Athletic back up what has been reported by other sources over the last couple of weeks by revealing that RB Leipzig are showing a keen interest in the Liverpool midfielder.
The outlet says that the attacking midfielder would want to move to an elite club, preferably one that can offer him Champions League football.
That might potentially give Spurs an advantage as, while the Lilywhites will be in Europe’s premier club competition next season, Leipzig have failed to qualify for any European competition after finishing seventh in the Bundesliga last term.
