Liverpool forward Harvey Elliott has agreed terms to leave Anfield and move to RB Leipzig this summer, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.
The Reds have had a very busy summer with the arrivals of Giorgi Mamardashvili, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Giovanni Leoni, but several first-team players have also departed including forwards Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.
That has left Arne Slot short on options in attack, potentially pushing Elliott up the pecking order, but the player is still looking to move on for more regualr football this season.

Elliott, who has been described as "special", shone for the England Under-21's in the summer and has attracted interest from a number of clubs in the Premier League and also in Europe.
Bundesliga side Leipzig, who have Jurgen Klopp in their staff behind the scenes, have made the most concrete move for the 22-year-old so far this summer, and a deal has now been agreed between player and club over a move this summer.
Now Leipzig must find a way to agree terms with Liverpool over a trasnfer fee, with the club open to letting him leave to fulfil his wish for more regular football. However, GIVEMESPORT correspondent Ben Jacobs reports that any deal would be reluctantly agreed, as manager Slot is a big fan of Elliott and sees him as a valued member of the squad.
Leipzig see Elliott as a perfect replacement for Netherlands international Xavi Simons, who is set to depart after two seasons with the club to join Chelsea, with a deal closing in on being agreed between the clubs.
Liverpool want around £40m with a buy-back clause to allow Elliott to leave this summer, while they would sanction a sale for £50m without a buy-back clause too according to reports.
With personal terms agreed it would now seem like a matter of time before formal talks between clubs step up, and Elliott could be closing in on a move before the September 1st deadline.
