Harvey Elliott could leave Liverpool in his quest for first team football this summer.
SportsBoom sources have been told the talented winger has been less than impressed with his playing time this season, making just four starts under Arne Slot.
Slot has been quoted as saying the 22-year-old has been “frustrated" by his limited opportunities at Anfield this season and wants to fulfil his potential.
And it is understood the league leaders have slapped a £40 million price tag on the England youth international, whose contract runs out in two years.
Newcastle United are one of many potential suitors ready to pounce if Elliott decides he needs a fresh start at the end of the season.
The Magpies have been keeping close tabs on the winger this season and were reminded on his talents when he created the winner when the pair met in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
GERMAN INTEREST
Borussia Dortmund are also ready to renew their interest in the playmaker.
Dortmund have made enquiries about Elliott in the past and are still keen to add his services this summer.
Former Liverpool star Xabi Alonso, now boss at Bayer Leverkusen, is also a big admirer of the player and reckons his links with the club will give him an advantage in negotiations.
At the start of the season, Elliott said he wanted to remain at Anfield to fight it out for a regular spot in Slot’s side.
But having failed to break into contention this term, he has not started a Premier League game all season, it is believed he fancies a permanent move away to further his budding career.
