22-year-old Harvey Elliott is a young boy Liverpool fan and is reluctant to give up playing for the club of his dreams – but if it advances his career by playing more regularly, he will move on.
RB Leipzig wants Harvey Elliott to replace Xavi Simons this summer. The German club has contacted Liverpool and speaks to players to sell their projects to Liverpool, attacking Liverpool midfielders.
Elliot, 22, is a young boy Liverpool fan and is reluctant to give up playing for the club of his dreams – but he will move on if he furthers his career by playing more regularly.
He faces serious competition at Anfield after Florian Wiltz arrives, and Jeremy Fripon can fill for Mo Salah on the right. Leipzig tries to convince Elliot that they are the perfect place for their next move before continuing with a more detailed discussion with Liverpool.
Bundesliga Club plans to sell Simons to Chelsea for over £60 million. They will also bring over £700 million to Benjamin Sesco along with Manchester United and Newcastle Tusling for the signing of Manchester United and striker.
In June, Elliot was urged to “go out” Jermain Defoe to “play” after helping the England Under-21 maintain the crown of the European Championship.

“There are a lot of clubs watching this tournament,” Defoe said, speaking on Channel 4 after Elliott won a match against the Netherlands in the semi-finals.
“We said that before, he’s too good not to play. He’s the two goals you’ve seen tonight, he’s the top top player.
“For him, he’ll go out and play, get on the team where he’s one of the main players, express himself and show how good you are because this performance is great tonight.”
Joe Cole has analyzed the Channel 4 game and was in perfect alignment with his former England colleagues. He said: “I love young people.
“I think he’s playing football the right way. I’m really excited about him, not just this final, but his future next year.
“He’s done a great job for Liverpool. I still feel like there’s a level if he decides to move on. There’s a level where he’s going to go up again for the player to come to the tournament and do what he’s done.
