£50m Liverpool star in line for reunion with Jurgen Klopp
Harvey Elliott's future is uncertain right now, since he couldn't really break into the Liverpool first-team on a regular basis last season, despite his best efforts and the fans' wishes, and now Florian Wirtz has been signed to play in his position, so we're left at a loss as to what happens with him.
But this should not be a reflection on his form or quality, since the 22-year-old England international helped win his side the U21 European Championship just a few weeks ago, earning the player of the tournament award. It was the second international trophy of his career after the U21 Euros in 2023.
As such, we're left in a weird position and he's an increasingly valuable asset for us to sell.
The transfer market has seen some bizarre moves this summer, and since Anthony Elanga moved to Newcastle for £55m, a player who is older, hasn't experienced European football, has less goal contributions in his career and has won less, it seems fair that at least £50m should be asked for him.
One of the teams in the running for him is Leipzig and a move to Germany is a plausible possibility.

Tua Tagovailoa on Tyreek Hill's relationship with the team after trade comments: 'He is working on himself'
Tua Tagovailoa claimed that Miami Dolphins teammate and wide receiver Tyreek Hill is rebuilding his relationship with the quarterback and the rest of the team after his "I'm out" comments at the end of last season. Speaking to media members from training camp on Wednesday morning, Tagovailoa provided some insight about where he and the team stand with their star receiver. 'When you say something like that, you don't just come back with 'My bad.' You gotta work that relationship up. He is working on himself," Tagovailoa said. The comments in question came after the Dolphins' campaign ended with a 32-20 loss to a struggling New York Jets team. Following a frustrating season, Hill seemingly threw in the towel, saying, "I'm out." "This is my first time not being in the playoffs," Hill pointed out. "I just gotta do what's best for me and my family. If that's here or wherever the case may be, man. I'm [going to] open that door for myself. I'm out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I gotta do what's best for my career because I'm too much of a competitor to be just out there." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The statement came after the Dolphins went 8-9 this past season. As for Hill, his numbers suffered along with the team. After breaking 1,700 receiving yards and reaching the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, Hill posted just 959 yards — his lowest receiving total since 2019, where he totaled 860 yards in just 12 games played. While he hinted at a trade request, Cheetah has returned to Miami for another season. Hill was traded to Miami from Kansas City in 2022 and signed a four-year, $120 million contract. His deal was restructured in 2024 to include $90 million over the three seasons that followed, with $65 million guaranteed over the remainder of his tenure. After his comments, Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus reiterated his commitment to the team, saying, 'What you see with Tyreek is very genuine.' "He wants to win. It's not good enough for him not to make the playoffs. He is very passionate. I think at the end of the day, he is committed to this Dolphins football team.' The Dolphins will open their 2025 season on September 7 in Chicago against the Bears.

Marcus Rashford: Tarnished Man Utd star seeks Barcelona redemption
Marcus Rashford is the boyhood Manchester United fan who lived his dream until a precipitous fall from grace ended his love affair with the club. The England winger on Wednesday joined Spanish champions Barcelona on loan in a deal that includes a purchase option, signalling a likely final exit from Old Trafford. Rashford appears to have secured the move he hankered after but there will be no hiding place at the Catalan giants. It was not supposed to be this way. The 27-year-old forward appeared to have the world at his feet when he signed a new five-year contract with United worth a reported £325,000 ($435,000) per week in July 2023. Fresh from scoring 30 goals in the 2022/23 season -- the first time a player had hit that mark for the club since Robin van Persie a decade earlier -- he appeared to be entering his prime. Rashford's approval rating was sky-high on and off the pitch after his role in forcing a British government U-turn over free school meals for disadvantaged children and his fights against racism and homelessness. The Manchester-born forward even featured on the cover of British Vogue in 2020 alongside supermodel turned mental health campaigner Adwoa Aboah as one of "The Faces of Hope". But Rashford clashed with former manager Erik ten Hag and the current boss, Ruben Amorim, and his United career quickly unravelled. - Boyhood club - The left winger joined United at the age of seven and emerged as a teenage prodigy in 2016, scoring twice on his United debut against Midtjylland and repeating the feat in his maiden Premier League appearance against Arsenal. Aged 18, Rashford became the then youngest England player to score on his debut, against Australia. He has won the Europa League and lifted two FA Cups and two League Cups, scoring 138 goals in 426 appearances for United. But there is a nagging feeling that a player blessed with talent and athletic ability has failed to fulfil his early promise. Rashford has not entirely been to blame for his struggles as a succession of managers deployed him as both a winger and a central striker, denying him the chance grow into one role. And his career has coincided with a decade in which United have lurched from manager to manager, and crisis to crisis, following the glory years under Alex Ferguson. - United troubles - The roots of Rashford's United exit can be traced back to December 2022. Just back from the World Cup in Qatar on a high after scoring three times, the forward found himself in trouble with Ten Hag after oversleeping and reporting late for a team meeting prior to a match at Wolves. Dropped and chastised by the Dutchman, he came off the bench to score the winner. Rashford was in hot water again in January 2024 after reports he had been seen in nightspots in Northern Ireland -- he missed training after reporting ill and did not feature in the club's 4-2 FA Cup win over Newport. As questions over his work ethic persisted, former United captain Gary Neville, now a Sky Sports pundit, warned him to "calm down", saying: "He's going through a dip in form but it can become your personality if you're not careful". But he endured numerous lengthy spells without a goal in Ten Hag's misfiring team. Rashford was left out of England's Euro 2024 squad and responded in limp fashion, managing six Premier League goals last season. A trip to New York, where he was pictured attending an NBA game during the November international break, was interpreted as further evidence that Rashford had lost focus. He scored the first goal of Amorim's reign in November but the Portuguese boss dropped a bombshell when he left him out of the squad for United's win at Manchester City in mid-December, questioning his attitude and work ethic. Days later a disgruntled Rashford said he was "ready for a new challenge" as the relationship soured and he signed for Aston Villa on loan in February. The forward made enough of an impact at Villa Park to earn a recall for England, now under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel. But Amorim has made it clear there is no future for him at Old Trafford. Now Rashford has a chance to reset, knowing he must prove himself all over again at one of the most demanding clubs in the world. smg-jw/mw
