Harvey Elliott might reluctantly choose to leave Liverpool in search of regular game time, as RB Leipzig are in talks over a move.
According to TBR, Harvey Elliott could opt to leave Liverpool this summer as he desires regular game time. Minutes under Anre Slot have been difficult to come by for the 22-year-old Liverpool prospect, and with RB Leipzig opening talks for the attacking midfielder, a move away from Anfield is very much possible.
Harvey Elliott was seen as the future of Liverpool until Arne Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp. After enjoying regular minutes under former manager Klopp, the attacking midfielder barely found any important outings under the Dutchman.
Liverpool have been open to a sale, especially after the arrival of Florian Wirtz, which directly threatens his limited minutes on the pitch. The Merseysiders are open to the prospect of a departure as a sale would ideally mean pure profit from a PSR sense for the club.
Newcastle United were interested earlier, while Tottenham are also keen after missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White. Elliott ideally would love to join a Champions League club, but in the end, any move will depend on the credible options he has on the table.
RB Leipzig were out of the race earlier owing to his asking price and wages, but they are back in the mix, as David Ornstein reported that the two clubs are in talks for Elliott. It remains to be seen how much Liverpool would demand for the 22-year-old, and whether the German side can pay it, especially given they do not have any kind of European football in the season ahead.
Harvey Elliott is open to leaving Liverpool
Elliott would be open to leaving Liverpool despite his love for the club, as regular game time is on his mind. The 22-year-old Liverpool prospect was a big talking point during the recently concluded U-21 Euros, which England won, and he now angles for a place in Thomas Tuchel’s squad ahead of the World Cup next year.
He will only move to a club where there’s a regular place for him every week, and Leipzig might be the club. The Germans are about to lose Xavi Simons to Chelsea, as they view the 22-year-old Liverpool prospect as the direct replacement for the Dutchman.
