Jurgen Klopp is personally pushing for RB Leipzig to sign Liverpool star Harvey Elliott this summer, according to TBR Football.
The Reds are expecting a busy summer transfer window after Arne Slot led them to the Premier League title in his first season in charge, with Anfield chiefs already active with the signings of Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez confirmed.
Attention is now turning towards departures at Anfield as the club look to make space for even more signings, and Elliott has emerged as someone who could be moved on.

Elliott, who has been described as 'special', is currently shining for the England Under-21's at the European Championships and has scored four goals, including two in the semi-final win over the Netherlands.
Those performances mixed with a lack of regular playing time for Liverpool in the 2024/25 season have seen a host of clubs show an interest in the attacking midfielder, and one of those is Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig.
But the German side have a major advantage in their pursuit of the 22-year-old, with former Anfield boss Klopp currently head of football at Red Bull, and it's said that he is 'personally pushing' for the club to sign Elliott.

Liverpool rate him highly but would be willing to accept around £40m to let him leave, and it's believed that the former Fulham sensation would also be open to a move as he is ready to leave Anfield.
Klopp was in charge when the Reds signed him as a teenager and he was influential in his development, helping Elliott become a regular in the first-team picture at Liverpool before his departure last summer. Elliott would be keen on a move to Leipzig too.
Liverpool may push for a buy-back clause in any deal that sees him move on, but it's clear that his immediate future lies away from the red half of Merseyside and a reunion with the legendary Klopp is very much on the cards.
