English press reports revealed that Real Madrid tried to sign last summer with Harvey Elliot, the gem of Liverpool, who joined the Reds from youth ranks in Fulham.

The 17-year-old, who has a bright future ahead with Liverpool, caught the attention of several major clubs last year, and Real Madrid was one of the parties who showed a strong desire to join Elliot.

Real Madrid officials invited Harvey Elliot for a tour of the training center and the “Santiago Bernabeu” stadium, and was among the attempts to persuade the player he was offered the opportunity to meet captain Sergio Ramos.

However, Harvey Elliot explained that he was not interested in that interview, and Real Madrid officials answered, according to the newspaper “The Athletic”, saying: “No, it’s okay, thanks … I don’t like him after what he did to Mohamed Salah.”

Elliot referred to the famous mistake made by Real defender Ramos against the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star in the Champions League 2018 final, during which the royal team succeeded in winning the title.

Salah suffered a severe injury to his shoulder at that time, and he was unable to complete the match before leaving the stadium in tears. The Egyptian star’s dream of achieving the continental title was lost, as the match ended with Real Madrid winning (3-1).

“The Athletic” added that Elliot was present with his father in the final, which was held in the Ukrainian city of Kiev, and it was clear that the loss affected him, but after a year of that match he achieved his dream of moving to Liverpool.

It is reported that Ramos faced a massive campaign of criticism from the fans and many people, and some confirmed that the captain of the Royal Club deliberately injured the most dangerous players for Liverpool, but Ramos apologized and denied this.
