British media: Leipzig is negotiating with Liverpool on Elliott, and the final transfer fee may be 47 million euros

August 12th According to British media Caughtoffside, Leipzig is negotiating with Liverpool to sign Elliott, and Klopp has also participated in the work of persuading Elliott to join Leipzig. According to reports, Leipzig has stepped up its pursuit of Elliott, and they have provided him with a four-year contract and formally negotiated with Liverpool.

Sources revealed that Elliott is eager to get a chance to play and is open to leaving Liverpool. Leipzig sees him as an ideal replacement for Harvey Simmons.

Leipzig coach and sports director have spoken directly with Elliott to tell him that the team wants him to be Leipzig's offensive core. Former Liverpool coach Klopp, currently Red Bull global football director, also participated in the work of persuading Elliott.

Discussions on transfer fees are still ongoing. According to reports, Liverpool hopes to get €55 million with a buyback clause, or €65 million without a buyback clause, which is far beyond Elliott's 30 million euros. The final price may depend on the funds Leipzig received from Simmons transfer, with some sources mentioning that the two sides could reach a €47 million discount.
