Liverpool set for Harvey Elliott transfer payout as tribunal decision imminent

Liverpool could discover on Tuesday the fee they must pay Fulham for the transfer of Harvey Elliott.

The Reds were unable to agree a compensation amount with the Londoners when the then 16-year-old Elliott moved to Anfield in July 2019.

While Liverpool are believed to have offered around £750,000, it is understood Fulham wanted 10 times that amount for the highly-rated winger.

Now the Professional Football Compensation Committee (PFCC) will sit on Tuesday to determine the level of compensation Liverpool must pay, although a final decision could take further discussion.

Elliott is currently on a season-long loan at Championship side Blackburn Rovers, where he has impressed in scoring four goals and providing eight assists in 23 appearances.

The 17-year-old signed his first professional contract with Liverpool last term and made eight senior appearances for the Reds while becoming the youngest-ever player to start a competitive match for the club.

The PFCC are a temporary group formed when is necessary.

Nobody involved will have links with Liverpool or Fulham, with Premier League rules stating the committee will be comprised of an independent chairman with an appropriate legal background, along with appointees of the Premier League, PFA and LMA.

Liverpool have seen previous transfers go to a tribunal.

In 2016, the Reds were ordered to pay Burnley an initial £6.5m for signing Danny Ings the previous summer, while in 2018 they paid an undisclosed fee to Chelsea for Dominic Solanke having signed the forward a year earlier.
