Liverpool set for summer shake-up as Elliott valuation revealed

DDM News

Liverpool are preparing for a crucial summer as they aim to reshape their squad under manager Arne Slot.

Following a shocking 3-2 defeat to Fulham, attention has shifted towards upcoming transfer plans.

Diaspora digital media (DDM) gathered that this defeat marked only their second Premier League loss this season, the first being against Nottingham Forest in September.

Despite the setback, Liverpool remain eleven points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

They have seven games left to play and still control their title destiny this season.

Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Everton helped maintain Liverpool’s lead in the title race.

The Reds can potentially secure the league title before the final week if results go in their favour.

While the title race unfolds, internal planning has begun regarding summer transfers and squad reinforcements.

Reports suggest Liverpool will prioritise signing a left-back over a right-back in the upcoming transfer window.

This remains unchanged even if Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves the club in the coming months.

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Alexander-Arnold as a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal.

Despite the links, Liverpool have full confidence in 20-year-old right-back Conor Bradley’s continued development.

Bradley’s recent performances have impressed Slot, and he’s seen as a reliable alternative on the right flank.

Therefore, Liverpool’s defensive priority has shifted to the opposite side of the pitch.

The club is reportedly monitoring Bournemouth’s young Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez ahead of the summer window.

Kerkez joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar and has delivered several standout performances in the Premier League.

His pace, positioning, and composure have made him one of the top young full-backs in the division.

Liverpool believe he could offer both depth and long-term potential at the left-back position.

Slot is expected to oversee a squad rebuild as part of his long-term project at Anfield.

Many analysts believe this summer will define Slot’s tactical direction and Liverpool’s identity under his leadership.

Meanwhile, speculation surrounds the future of attacking midfielder Harvey Elliott.

The 22-year-old has played only 618 minutes this season across all competitions.

He has not started a single Premier League match under Arne Slot so far.

Despite limited opportunities, Elliott has scored four goals and provided two assists in the current campaign.

He remains highly regarded by several clubs, including Newcastle United.

According to The Newcastle Chronicle, it would cost £40 million to secure Elliott’s transfer this summer.

Newcastle have reportedly enquired about his availability, hoping to add creativity and flair to their midfield.

Elliott joined Liverpool from Fulham in July 2019 as a highly promising teenager.

Since then, he has made 141 appearances for the Reds across various competitions.

His best form came during the early part of the 2021–22 season.

However, a serious injury halted his momentum and impacted his progress.

After recovery, Elliott struggled to regain a consistent starting role in Liverpool’s midfield rotation.

He is currently competing with the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Curtis Jones.

Newcastle see Elliott as a long-term asset who could thrive in a more consistent playing environment.

Liverpool, on the other hand, may be open to a sale if the valuation is met.

Slot is reportedly considering reshaping his midfield with fresh faces and younger profiles.

Elliott’s exit would free up space and funds to pursue other targets in the summer.

With interest growing, Liverpool are expected to make firm decisions regarding Elliott in the coming weeks.

The summer window is shaping up to be pivotal for both Liverpool and Arne Slot’s managerial tenure.

Whether Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy or not, significant changes are on the horizon.

Fans can expect new arrivals and possible high-profile departures in the months ahead.

Defensive priorities have been established, with full-back positions receiving close attention.

The future of Harvey Elliott could be one of the summer’s biggest talking points at Anfield.

Liverpool’s ambitions under Arne Slot are clear: compete, evolve, and maintain success in a highly competitive Premier League.

The coming months will test their resolve and reshape their squad for the next phase of their journey.
