Liverpool abusive offer leaves the star in awe of fans admiring him
Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho have enjoyed contrasting fortunes since moving from Fulham to Liverpool Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool train at the AXA Training Centre Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool train at the AXA Training Centre Harvey Elliott is well aware that he is unlikely to receive a warm reception when Liverpool host Fulham on Sunday. The England Under-21 midfielder was the youngest ever player in the Premier League when he joined the Reds from the Cottagers in the summer of 2019 as a 16-year-old after making just three appearances for Fulham before being sacked by his boyhood club. The move further damaged relations between the two clubs as Liverpool’s failed attempts to sign Clint Dempsey in 2012 had already broken down. Fulham were entitled to a training fee for the teenager, but the Reds’ initial offer of £850,000 plus add-ons was deemed offensive and From the farmers. Instead, the Londoners wanted £10m for Elliott and £10m for add-ons. Since no agreement was reached on the amount of the compensation, the matter went to court, as a result of which relations became strained again. In February 2021, the Professional Footballers’ Compensation Commission ordered Liverpool to pay £1.2 million and £300,000 for Elliott, who signed his first professional contract in July 2020, with a further £200,000 to be paid upon signing a second professional contract. It was launched in July 2021, five months after the trial. Bonuses are based on cumulative first team appearances and high profile international appearances. Fulham could receive the maximum £4.3m that Elliott, who has made 100 appearances for the Reds, would earn on his England debut. The 20-year-old does not garner much international recognition, but he has made 84 appearances for Liverpool. The Cottagers will also receive a 20% commission on future sales from the midfielder. Fulham were confirmed to be happy with the fee, which was a record fee for the 16-year-old, although it was significantly less than their demands. Yet Cottagers boss Scott Parker publicly criticized the character, calling it madness. andquot;I was disappointed with everything because this is a player who has been developed at this club for a long, long time, he said. andquot;We gave him a debut. You don’t want to go and spend £20-30m on players. That’s why the academy is so important to us. andquot;We want to develop these players. But we have developed this player for the big club he will take. Four million pounds for a player that we developed and we thought he would leave like he did is really crazy. Elliot has the potential to be a top footballer but Liverpool took him away from us because of the small part he is capable of.andquot; Relations between the Reds and Fulham later calmed down, with the sale of Harry Wilson for £12 million in July 2021. However, it was later revealed that the Wales international was technically on loan at Craven Cottage and a permanent move was delayed until 2022. to avoid the FFP rules of the championship. Liverpool then decided to loan Neco Williams to Fulham in January 2022, with director of loans and routes David Woodfine and then sporting director Julian Ward personally investing heavily to see the deal go through on transfer day. The move was agreed to maximize the defender’s playing time at a proper club in a World Cup year, so the deal was a direct loan as the Cottagers would only cover the wages of the Wales international and he would help them regain success. to the team. In the Premier League. But while the Reds’ relationship with Fulham is much healthier today than when Liverpool first signed Elliott, it’s a different story when it comes to Cottagers supporters’ feelings towards the midfielder. andquot;Harvey Elliott, you and you are a piece of shit!’ andquot;You’re just a piece of shit Harry Wilson!’andquot; there were two chants aimed at him by fans traveling to Anfield. May, like him Reds 1: Came on as a late substitute in Game 0. Whether he starts against Fulham on Sunday or comes on as a substitute, he may not be surprised to be treated similarly. But Elliot has a clear future with the Reds. Liverpool’s latest signing from Fulham, however, is a different story. 18 months after moving from Craven Cottage to Anfield, Fabio Carvalho appears to be at a career crossroads. The Portuguese also joined the Reds after his contract expired in the summer of 2022, but his exchange was much more amicable. Negotiations with Fulham were initially held at the same time as Williams’ loan move in the other direction was completed. However, both clubs ran out of time to complete a deal before the transfer window closed despite an agreement, and Liverpool were happy to loan the striker back to Fulham for the rest of the season to continue their progress under Marco Silva. With both sides keen to avoid a repeat of the Elliott saga and another tribunal, the Reds have agreed a £5m compensation fee for Fulham’s out-of-contract 19-year-old, with the deal including add-ons which could rise. . . the final cost rose to a further £2.7 million with a 20% sell-on clause. Carvalho has already visited Liverpool’s AXA training center in Kirkby, courtesy of Fulham, where he met Reds boss Klopp and the coaching staff, underwent a medical and agreed the personal terms of a five-year contract before confirming the deal in May. Meanwhile, the player did not want to publicize the move until the end of the season out of respect for his Fulham teammates as they successfully bid for promotion to the Premier League as champions. So when he made his Premier League debut for Liverpool against his former club at Craven Cottage, he avoided mocking Elliott.
