James Pearce The Athletic June 27, 2021
Liverpool are in talks to sell Liam Millar, with Basel leading the chase for the 21-year-old forward’s signature.
Millar, who is valued at around £2 million, is understood to be keen on moving to the Swiss outfit.
The Athletic understands that negotiations are continuing between the clubs as they attempt to agree a financial package. Liverpool will insist on a significant sell-on clause being included in the deal.
Which other clubs are interested?
Millar has also attracted interest from New York Red Bulls, Odense, Blackpool and Charlton Athletic.
The Red Bulls previously tried to sign him in January 2020 after he returned to Liverpool from a loan spell at Kilmarnock.
The 21-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Charlton where he scored three goals in 27 appearances in the Championship (sic) (League One - elly).
Who is Millar?
Toronto-born Millar joined Liverpool’s academy from Fulham in 2016 and has captained the club’s under-23s.
His solitary senior appearance was against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup in February 2020.
He has made eleven appearances for the Canadian national team.
