Overview

• Multiple reports say Elliott has settled personal terms with Leipzig, with club-to-club negotiations described as advanced.
• Leipzig are exploring a deal in the region of €30 million, while Liverpool are expected to seek around €40 million with a buy-back clause or £50 million without.
• Add-ons and bonuses have been discussed as mechanisms to bridge the gap in valuations.
• Elliott’s minutes have been limited under Arne Slot, and Liverpool’s summer recruitment has increased competition in attacking roles.
• Leipzig view Elliott as a leading option as they look to replace Xavi Simons, with other Premier League interest reported but quiet, and no transfer yet agreed.
