Едва выиграв Чемпионат Европы U-21 с молодежной сборной Англии, теперь Эллиотт готов заняться своим будущим.

По информации The Athletic, 22-летний Эллиотт открыт к переходу в клуб, который обеспечит ему регулярную игровую практику и который выступает в Лиге Чемпионов.

Чтобы найти клуб под свои требования, Эллиотту, возможно, придется отправиться за рубеж, и "РБ Лейпциг" является одним из вариантов для Харви.

"Ливерпуль" собирается потребовать за Эллиотта свыше 40 млн. фунтов, если сохранит за собой опцию обратного выкупа Харви, или свыше 50 млн. фунтов, если соответствующей опции предусмотрено не будет.

Bobby Clark Transfer Race Hots Up as Liverpool Await Financial Windfall As the summer transfer market begins to hum, one former Liverpool youngster is at the centre of significant interest.

As the summer transfer market begins to hum, one former Liverpool youngster is at the centre of significant interest. Bobby Clark, now 20, left Anfield last summer for RB Salzburg in a £10 million deal. A year later, he could be on the move again, and Liverpool are watching closely thanks to a sell-on clause embedded in the original agreement.

DaveOCKOP has exclusively reported that a “long list of clubs” across Europe and beyond are pursuing Clark’s signature. With at least 15 interested parties, the competition for the midfielder’s services is real and growing.

Clark’s early promise in a Liverpool shirt was clear. He made his senior debut in the emphatic 9-0 demolition of Bournemouth in 2022 and later scored against Sparta Prague in the Europa League. Across three seasons, he made 14 senior appearances, collected a League Cup winners’ medal in 2024, and showcased the technical intelligence Liverpool fans had hoped to see blossom further.

When Jurgen Klopp departed Liverpool, Pep Lijnders took over at RB Salzburg and was instrumental in bringing Clark to Austria. He also secured the loan of Stefan Bajcetic from his former club.

In Salzburg colours, Clark featured in 17 league games, scoring once, and clocked over 1,100 minutes across all competitions including six Champions League appearances.

Yet, following Lijnders’ exit from the Austrian club, Clark’s fortunes faded. He dropped out of matchday squads and now seeks a new chapter to reignite his career.

Who’s Interested?

The range of clubs interested speaks volumes about Clark’s untapped potential. According to DaveOCKOP, German clubs including Eintracht Frankfurt, Cologne and Hamburg are monitoring the situation. In the UK, Sunderland, Leicester City, Rangers, West Brom, Birmingham City and Southampton have expressed interest.

Further afield, Clark is on the radar of Slovan Bratislava, FC Copenhagen, Red Star Belgrade, Al Wahda, Chicago Fire and Al Ettifaq. Such global demand hints at both his quality and his affordability.

Financial Implications for Liverpool

Liverpool will profit from any deal involving Clark due to a well-negotiated 17.5% sell-on clause. The precise return depends on the fee Salzburg command, but the structure ensures the Anfield club receives a slice of the proceeds.

For a club operating within smart financial parameters, especially following their Premier League-winning campaign under Arne Slot, every additional stream matters.

As the window progresses, Clark’s name will continue to circulate. “There is no doubting Clark’s quality and a fresh start will reinvigorate the midfielder,” DaveOCKOP rightly notes.

If Salzburg cash in this summer, Liverpool will not just have developed and exported talent but will also benefit from having played the long game financially.

Our View – Anfield Index Analysis

For Liverpool fans, the Bobby Clark situation offers a bittersweet twist. While many were disappointed to see him leave in 2024, his performances in Austria—especially in the Champions League—proved what many already suspected: the lad’s got something special.

The idea that he could be pulling strings in midfield at places like Eintracht Frankfurt or Red Star Belgrade brings both pride and frustration. He came through our system, impressed in pre-season under Klopp, and never quite got the consistent game time some fans felt he deserved.

That said, Liverpool handled his departure wisely. A 17.5% sell-on clause is no small feat, especially when clubs across Europe and even the Middle East are involved in the chase. Whether it’s £1 million or £4 million back into the kitty, it’s clever business.

Arne Slot has already shown he trusts youth and develops talent, so Liverpool fans should feel confident that if another Bobby Clark emerges, this time he might just stay longer. Still, there’ll be plenty watching his next move closely, hoping the lad smashes it—just not against us in Europe.

A loss Thursday would be a devasting blow in an already frustrating 2024/25.

As is the case for any (sobs) 14th-place team, Tottenham Hotspur's season hinges on competitions outside the Premier League. A bye into the Europa League Round of 16 keeps that avenue open, and the FA Cup remains a possibility as well, but the most immediate and realistic path to silverware is the League Cup. Yes, the road is brutal, with a trip to Anfield before a final against Newcastle, but only 180 minutes separate Spurs from ending their long-standing trophy drought.

That makes Thursday the biggest match of the season so far. Tottenham impressed in the semifinal's first leg, grinding out a 1-0 win despite ceding possession, absorbing pressure, and deploying a makeshift backline. Now, the battle shifts to Liverpool, where the country's best team will be confident in its ability to overcome a one-goal deficit. Spurs enter as clear underdogs but must find a way to advance.

Semifinals (2nd Leg): Liverpool (0) vs. Tottenham Hotspur (1)

Date: Thursday, February 6
Time: 3:00 pm ET, 8:00 pm UK
Location: Anfield Stadium, Liverpool
TV: Paramount+ (USA), Sky Sports Main Event (UK)

Since the first leg, Liverpool has gone 5-1-1, with the lone defeat coming in a meaningless Champions League contest with a rotated lineup. With a Premier League title in sight and a strong European campaign underway, one might assume this competition sits lower on the priority list. Unfortunately for Spurs, there are no significant matches on Liverpool's immediate horizon, meaning Arne Slot is likely to field a strong XI at Anfield.

Both teams were relatively cautious in North London, though for different reasons. Tottenham's approach was shaped by a defense missing three of its four preferred starters, alongside a newly introduced Antonin Kinsky. Ange Postecoglou now has the opportunity of choosing from options like Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, though plenty of important names like Micky van de Ven remain injured.

For Liverpool, the decision to play pragmatically was likely strategic — returning home with just a one-goal deficit seemed an acceptable trade-off. Having made that decision, Slot's side will now bring intensity reminiscent of December's league fixture. Players like Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Dominik Szoboszlai were all absent from the first leg's starting lineup, but may be called upon Thursday with the objective more clear.

A few moments of greatness

Tottenham will not see much of the ball at Anfield. Liverpool will dominate possession, generate the bulk of the chances, and apply relentless pressure in Spurs' defensive third. That is a daunting prospect for cobbled-together squad; the number one priority is minimizing mistakes, especially with a lead to protect.

That said, Spurs must be willing to attack when opportunities arise and will not need much possession to be dangerous. Both Dominic Solanke's narrowly disallowed goal and Lucas Bergvall's successful strike in the first leg came via direct play over the top. Exploiting Liverpool's high press with quick, vertical attacks could be Tottenham's best path to maintaining the advantage.

If Spurs can capitalize on a pressing opponent and snatch an insurance goal, the tie will come down to their ability to weather the inevitable storm. Recent form does not inspire much confidence in their defensive resilience, but Tottenham has produced surprising performances against top teams this season. Postecoglou will need another one to keep his second-season trophy promise alive.

Liverpool fans will have seen the social media stories circling that both Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk signing a new contract, something Arne Slot was asked to comment on.

Speaking (via 90min.com), our head coach said: "We have some contractual situations that you don't probably don't know about.

"But Trent, Mo and Virgil haven't extended yet. So we are aware of the fact that we have to be sharp and ready for things that can happen.

"My life is mainly short term but we have so many quality people at this club that look at the longer term as well.

"You always have to be prepared for all the new things coming up.

"The players that don't play a big part at the moment; will they be able to do this another year? Will they fight for their place or will they [want to] go somewhere else?

"So we have to be prepared for the next window and what we can do."

The Dutchman doesn't really like to provide a direct answer on these topics, as it's not something he's directly involved in and prefers to allow time to pass.

However, confirmation that contracts have not been signed is a clear indication of the current situation and does debunk Robbie Fowler's theory.

Salah, Van Dijk and Trent have not yet signed a new contract Pictures via @MoSalah on X

John Barnes has stated that if he were in charge of the new deals, he would select our captain as the most important of the trio.

Many fans have their own opinions as to who they would or wouldn't allow to leave the club but it does feel that the overwhelming majority want all three to commit their future to staying on Merseyside.

You would assume the club can afford to do this but whether the financial model allows it is another question.

It's the same situation we've been in all campaign but we can take from this that no deals have yet been signed and it doesn't feel like we're close to them being done either.

Liverpool are set to face Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg tonight.

The Reds lost the away first leg 1-0 controversially courtesy of Lucas Bergvall's late goal but he really should’ve been sent off earlier.

Newcastle United have reached the final by beating Arsenal in the other semi-final so the winner of this tie will take on the Magpies at Wembley on 16th March.

As per team news, Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota have returned to full fitness after recovering from their injury problems but Trent Alexander-Arnold has sustained an issue since featuring against the Cherries. So, he has been ruled out.

Predicted Liverpool lineup vs Tottenham

Caoimhin Kelleher has been playing in the cup competitions but Alisson Becker started in the previous leg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the Brazilian may continue in goal for the hosts tonight.

Jarell Quansah has started all the Carabao Cup matches thus far this season but considering the importance of the fixture tonight, Ibrahima Konate is expected to be called upon to feature alongside Virgil van Dijk in the CB position.

Conor Bradley would replace injured Alexander-Arnold and Kostas Tsimikas might get the nod to start in the left-back position ahead of Andy Robertson.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister are likely to continue in the engine room with Dominik Szoboszlai in the CAM role. Therefore, Wataru Endo and Curtis Jones could be among the substitutes.

Cody Gakpo has also played all the League Cup games and should continue in his preferred left-wing position, while Mohamed Salah would be on the opposite side.

Luis Diaz may start again in the CF role, therefore, Darwin Nunez and Jota could feature off the bench if needed. Here is how Liverpool could line up vs Tottenham:
