Some Liverpool fans on Twitter are devastated after hearing about Harry Wilson’s plans to leave the club this summer.

Speaking to Sgorio, the 24-year-old, whom Liverpool loaned to Cardiff City last summer, admitted that he won’t hesitate to quit the Reds if it led to a better career.

Wilson has never made a Premier League appearance for the Anfield club, where he began his professional career after rising through the academy ranks.

This is his fifth loan away from Liverpool and after proving himself in the Premier League last season with Bournemouth, few would begrudge the attacker a move away from Anfield.

Here’s how some fans reacted to the prospect of him leaving on Twitter:

Wilson absolutely does have a lot to offer any club – just not one as elite as Liverpool.

After all, Jurgen Klopp himself labelled the player’s shooting ability a ‘world-class’ level back in 2019 [Goal] and that right there illustrates just what the German thinks of him.

Liverpool’s problem is they have to be realistic.

Last summer, the club were reportedly looking for £20 million for him and despite seven Premier League goals with the Cherries, they just weren’t going to fetch that figure.

But Wilson still has two years to run on his existing deal and a permanent sale this summer is possible, but only if Michael Edwards and Klopp tailor their expectations.
