Liverpool is negotiating with Leipzig about Harvey Elliott's transfer fee. The number that Liverpool demanded in this deal was enough to make the partner stunned. But with a large amount of money from selling Benjamin Sesko to MU, Leipzig may consider investing in Elliott.
Under Jurgen Klopp, Harvey Elliott was commented by the German coach to become “one of the best stars in the world”. However, the British midfielder is not used by Arne Slot even though Elliott is really capable and always creates mutations every time he plays.
In the first season of Slot in Anfield, Elliott had 28 appearances on all fronts but the total number of minutes was only 822. However, Elliott still has 5 goals and 3 assists – a very impressive statistic. Due to not suitable for Slot, Elliott is among the players that Liverpool wants to sell in this summer transfer window. The most important issue is that, because it has spent £ 250 million to buy rookie, The Reds needs to sell players to balance financial.
According to the prestigious source of The Athletic, Liverpool is negotiating with Leipzig about Elliott's transfer fee. The German team offered to recruit Elliott to replace Xavi Simons, the player on the way to join Chelsea.
Liverpool required a £ 50 million fee for Elliott, but they were also ready to reduce it to £ 40 million if they were installed with the acquisition of the British player. With the preparation of a large fee from the sale of Benjamin Sesko to MU, Leipzig will probably not be too freaking about the price. The rest is whether they are really serious with Elliott or not.
In addition to Leipzig, Elliott also attracted attention from West Ham, the team was reforming after a disaster season. However, compared to coming to West Ham, Leizig will be good for Elliott itself, especially when his goal is to be with England to attend the 2026 World Cup finals.
Still very young but Elliott was seasoned with the top competition. Since landing Anfield 6 years ago for only £ 2.8 million, Elliott has played 147 matches for The Reds in the arenas, scoring 15 goals and 20 assists.
