Three reasons Harry Wilson won’t stay with Reds

A good return

Wilson is a young forward (or midfielder) with a lot of promise. He’s scored 21 goals over the last two seasons between loan spells with Derby County in the championship and Bournemouth in the Premier League.

He’s clearly a Premier League player. As such, there will be a number of Premier League clubs looking for him to become a part of their squad. That demand will fuel a good return for Wilson in the transfer market.

I’d imagine most teams in the bottom half of the Premier league would find a place for Wilson on their roster. Assuming they’re willing to pay the right price for him.

According to Transfermarkt, Wilson is valued at £21.32 million.

As we know with those valuations, when it comes to an actual sale, the price is often higher. Specifically when the demand itself is high.

If Liverpool can squeeze anywhere from £25-30 million for Wilson they absolutely should. What they do with that £25-30 million is a good question.

They have depth up top, in the middle of the park, and their backline of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, and Andrew Robertson is locked up to deals until at least 2023.

Getting depth players could help in the long run. But that’s not what’s being questioned here. The question here is that if Liverpool can get a handsome sum of money for a player that is surplus to requirements shouldn’t they?

With that possible return in the transfer market combined with Wilson not being happy with the role he’d be asked to play if he were to say with Liverpool, and the log-jam in the middle of the park and up top, Wilson’s future is elsewhere.
