Fulham made his £ 12 million signing Harry Wilson from a Liverpool official and will be a 15 percent selling point.
Harry Wilson signed a contract
Welsh International Harry Wilson has signed a four-year contract with an option in the fifth. Harry was dropped from Liverpool’s preseason friendly win over Mainz on Friday, and agreed on personal terms earlier this week with the Cottagers, who were dropped from the Premier League last year.
Harry is the last on the growing list
Harry Wilson is just the latest on a growing list of outings in Anfield this summer. Earlier this week, Liverpool sold Marko Grujic and Taiwo Awoniyi for a combined £ 17m and has already offloaded the likes of Kamil Grabara and Liam Millar. Harry Wilson joined the Reds as a U-9s player, and as a teenager made his FA Cup debut in Plymouth in 2016.
But he spent most of the next five and a half years on loan, playing well with the likes of Hull, Derby, Bournemouth and, last season, Cardiff, where he scored seven times and provided 12 assists in the Championship. As a reputable international partner in Wales, the 24-year-old has always made a permanent move this summer, and Liverpool has sent inquiries from a variety of clubs including Burnley, Brentford, West Brom and Portuguese giants Benfica.
Fulham, however, won the race, with new boss Marco Silva keen to add a wide scoring player as he seeks an immediate return to the top flight. For Liverpool, this means they have recouped over £ 30 million in sales, and Anfield sources speculate that they have generated over £ 5 million in loan fees for Harry Wilson over the years.
There will likely be more outs before the end of the transfer window as Jurgen Klopp looks to change his roster for the new season. Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi, in particular, are facing uncertain futures, with Lazio interested in Shaqiri. Nat Phillips is looking for at least four Premier League clubs, including Brighton and Newcastle, with a number of younger players, including Leighton Clarkson and Ben Woodburn, on loan. Meanwhile, Neco Williams could also leave if a £ 10m offer is received, although Liverpool sources say they are reluctant to actively sell the young full-back.
