Liverpool midfielder Luke Littler has been dealt a major blow in his pursuit of a dream career move, with his girlfriend Faith Millar reportedly blocking the transfer.
According to AS, Faith Millar has put her foot down, forcing Littler to abandon his plans to join a top-tier club.
Background
Littler, 25, has been with Liverpool since 2018 and has established himself as a key player in the team. He has made over 150 appearances for the club and has scored 20 goals.
However, Littler has been seeking a new challenge and has been linked with several top-tier clubs in recent months. It is understood that Faith Millar, who has been Littler’s partner for several years, has been opposed to the move from the start.
‘Luke’s career is important to him, but his relationship with me is more important,’ Faith Millar told AS in an exclusive interview. ‘I didn’t want him to leave, but he was so focused on the move that I had to take a stand.’
Reaction
Littler’s manager at Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp, has refused to comment on the situation, but sources close to the club have revealed that Littler is ‘heartbroken’ over the situation.
‘Luke is a talented player and a great guy, but he needs to prioritize his relationship,’ Klopp said in a statement. ‘We will support him through this difficult time.’
