This summer, England won the U21 European Championship. This championship tells us what we can expect from additions to the biggest football nations’ senior national teams. It therefore bodes well for England. At the center of the feat was Harvey Elliot as the best player of the European Championships. A proud moment for the 22-year-old and the Liverpool supporters, but unfortunately the continuation will not come at Anfield.
Elliot has been heavily linked with exit Liverpool this summer, which has caused several big clubs to knock on the door, but this is a player Liverpool fans do not want to see leave Anfield. Elliot is still part of Liverpool, so what happens during the week before the start of the season?

The Athletic reports RB Leipzig have now contacted Liverpool. The Bundesliga club are in the process of selling star Xavi Simons to Chelsea and see Elliot as a direct replacement.
A great recognition of what Elliot delivers, even if there have only been sporadic appearances at Arne Slot.
The clubs are in talks ahead of potential negotiations. We bet Red Bull’s football boss Jürgen Klopp has a hand in the game and opens the door for the German club.
According to the English media, Liverpool have put a price tag of £50 million on Elliott. What Liverpool supporters like to hear is that the club also has an option with £40 million as a price, if they get a buy-back clause in the sale contract.

Send Elliot out into the world to develop with plenty of playing time, and then bring the midfielder back when “the time is right”. Sounds like a perfect plan for the Liverpool supporters who love this player.
