Most people would jump at the chance to meet one of Real Madrid's stars, but one of Liverpool's top talents turned down the chance after an incident with Mo Salah
Harvey Elliott once refused an opportunity to meet ex- Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos, out of respect for Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah.
Los Blancos were so desperate to sign him that they even roped in Ramos to try and close the deal for the young England U21 international. But with memories of the Spaniard wrestling Salah down and dislocating his shoulder in the 2018 Champions League final still fresh in the Liverpool supporter's mind, Elliott, who was a teenager at the time, refused to meet him.
The England U21 international is yet to make an impact under Slot this season after suffering a broken foot at the start of the campaign. He was fit enough to make the subs bench for the victory over Carlo Ancelotti's side, but played no part in the game. "I loved watching them. My dad was a big fan of Fernando Torres and we had a big poster of him in the house. Me and my dad always tried to do as many away games as possible.
