Everton Consider Audacious Move for Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott Amid Summer Recruitment Drive

Everton are weighing up a surprise move for Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott in what would be one of the most sensational transfers of the summer window.

The Toffees, led by returning manager David Moyes, are aiming to bolster their squad ahead of their first full season at the newly built Hill Dickinson Stadium. Club captain Seamus Coleman has already extended his contract by a further year and will continue to lead the side into what he describes as a “brighter future”.

“I love Everton, so to continue playing for this special club means everything to me and my family,” Coleman said after penning the extension. “Like every one of our passionate fans, I’ve lived and breathed what has been a difficult past few years for the club and have put my heart and soul into doing all I can to help us get through it.

“Thanks to the hard work of many people, we’ve been able to get into our magnificent new stadium and pave the way for a brighter future under ambitious new owners, which I want to be part of.”

That ambition is beginning to show in the transfer market, with Moyes keen to reshape the squad. Everton are believed to be ready to meet Villarreal striker Thierno Barry’s £34 million release clause, though negotiations may see a deal completed in structured payments. Elsewhere, Club Brugge’s Raphael Onyedika remains a midfield target, though West Ham are also circling.

However, it is Everton’s interest in Harvey Elliott that has caught most attention.

According to Everton News, the Merseyside club are among a number of Premier League sides keeping tabs on the 21-year-old, whose future at Liverpool remains uncertain. Despite making 28 Premier League appearances last season and notching five goals and three assists, Elliott found himself on the periphery of Jurgen Klopp’s preferred XI.

Football insider Graeme Bailey revealed:

“I am told nearly half of the Premier League are seriously looking at him, and Everton are one of those. Nothing is advanced, but they are keeping tabs on the situation, and why wouldn’t they? We are talking about one of England’s star players from the U21 Euros with a load of Premier League experience.”

Elliott played a pivotal role in England’s UEFA Under-21 European Championship triumph last summer, scoring in the final against Germany and netting twice in the semi-final win over the Netherlands. His performances led former England star Joe Cole to draw lofty comparisons:

“He plays like Messi at times,” Cole said, referring to Elliott’s creativity and goal-scoring flair — though he admitted the comparison was “hyperbolic.”

With reported weekly wages of £40,000 and three years left on his contract, Liverpool would likely demand a significant fee for a player of Elliott’s profile, particularly given the historic rivalry between the two clubs. Yet Everton’s interest, alongside that in fellow Liverpool youngster Ben Doak, suggests a potential softening in transfer hostilities — or at least a willingness to test the waters.

While a deal remains speculative at this stage, Elliott’s situation will be monitored closely by a host of clubs — and should Everton firm up their interest, it could mark one of the most dramatic cross-city moves in recent memory.
