Overview

• RB Leipzig have increased interest in Elliott after agreeing a deal reported at €60m plus €5m in add-ons to sell Xavi Simons to Tottenham.
• Liverpool Echo reports Liverpool plan to reject late approaches and hold the player for now, with the situation up against a Sept. 1 deadline.
• CaughtOffside reports Leipzig have discussed a loan with an option to buy, though no official bid has been lodged.
• Elliott’s role has shrunk under Arne Slot, with just seven minutes played this season following a bench-heavy league campaign last year.
• Liverpool believe Elliott’s valuation exceeds recent £38m–£42m winger transfers, reinforcing reluctance to sanction a cut‑price exit.
