REPORT:Liverpool eye £70m windfall as Forest target key squad departures

Nottingham Forest Eye Double Swoop as Liverpool Plot £70m Summer Shift

Strategic Outgoings Key to Summer Overhaul

With the Premier League title secured, Liverpool’s focus now turns to reshaping their squad under Arne Slot. Reinforcements are inevitable, but so too are outgoings. The club’s model—praised for its ability to command significant fees even for fringe players—looks set to continue this summer. A new report from TeamTalk indicates that Nottingham Forest are keen to do business, potentially helping fund Liverpool’s next title defence.

Forest’s interest centres on Jarell Quansah and Harvey Elliott, with the Midlands club reportedly ready to offer £30 million for the former and between £40-50 million for the latter. Combined, that could net the Reds a tidy £70 million, without yet dipping into the pool of more established names like Luis Diaz or Darwin Núñez—both of whom could still attract sizeable bids from abroad.

Quansah and Elliott Tipped for Forest Roles

Quansah has seen limited action but impressed when called upon, making him a valuable asset in today’s inflated market. The suggestion that Forest could land the English defender for just £30 million seems ambitious.

Elliott’s future is a more complex equation. Despite flashes of brilliance, his minutes have been restricted this campaign. If Forest lose Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliott offers a stylistically similar replacement. But would Liverpool truly part with a player still considered one for the future?

The logic, it seems, is rooted in pragmatism. Slot wants to shape his own side. Hughes and Edwards want flexibility in the market. And if Forest are offering top dollar, those sales could become key catalysts for change.

This potential double deal recalls last summer’s outgoings to Brentford, when Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho made moves.

With Liverpool also reportedly keen on Murillo and Gibbs-White, sending Quansah and Elliott to Forest may serve as more than a cash injection.
