Harvey Elliott Refused To Meet Sergio Ramos When Real Madrid Attempted To Sign Him

Real Madrid were keen on signing the English talent and even gave him a tour of the iconic Bernabeu to convince the youngster to move to Spain.

They rolled out the red carpet and offered to arrange a meeting between Elliott and ex-Real captain Ramos.

"When they reached Sergio Ramos' shirt, hanging up on the wall, Real's charm offensive included an offer to arrange for the talented teenager to meet their long-serving captain.

"'No, it's OK, thanks, I don't like him after what he did to Mo Salah.'"

Of course, Salah was reduced to tears after falling awkwardly on his shoulder following a challenge from Ramos.

Elliott went onto put pen to paper with Liverpool for an undisclosed fee and the teenage sensation revealed that he idolises Salah.

"King, I would say!" He told the Liverpool ECHO.

"Just because of his style of play and who he is on and off the pitch. Myself, looking at him in my position, I idolise him a lot.

"To be going up against him in training, I learn a lot of things from him. Even in the gym as well, he is telling me to do a higher weight, push myself even more. To have him in the club and around us young players, he is a really big influence."

Ramos, meanwhile, swapped Spain for France last summer and sealed a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
