Harvey Elliott Refused To Meet Sergio Ramos When Real Madrid Tried To Sign Him From Fulham

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 Real Madrid 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."
