Liverpool will have to pay Fulham ‘around £4million’ for midfielder Harvey Elliott after a tribunal earlier this week.
Elliott made his Liverpool debut last season, at the age of 16, following his move from boyhood club Fulham in 2019.

However, the clubs failed to decide on a fee for the teenage star and the move went to a tribunal after the west London club rejected an offer of £750,000 in compensation.
It was understood the London club were seeking £10million from the Premier League champions – a record transfer fee for a case settled by tribunal.
Having seen how quickly he’s taken to the Championship following his loan move to Blackburn Rovers, it’s clear to see why the Cottagers wanted so much for the youngster.

According to The Athletic, Liverpool will have to pay £1.2million up front.
Fulham could then get an extra £300,000 when the 17-year-old signs his first professional contract, followed by £200,000 if he gets a second deal.
The rest, which they believe could amount to £4.3 million, will be triggered once he has made a certain amount of first-team appearances for Liverpool and received an England cap.
Fulham also hold a 20 per cent sell-on clause in the deal, which appears to have sated the Cottagers.
