RB Leipzig could give Harvey Elliott a chance to revive himself after his poor performances Aston Villawith liverpool The man is being ‘discussed internally’ at the club.
BILD reports this After being a major topic of discussion last year, ‘Klopp’s favorite pupil’ is on RB Leipzig’s list this summer.
Liverpool man discussed internally
The newspaper reports that the Liverpool midfielder is being ‘discussed internally’ at the Bundesliga club. However, that is not the top priority at this time.
They are currently focused on re-signing Brajan Gruda from Brighton. He joined on loan in January and impressed at the club. However, the deal does not include a purchase option.
Therefore, negotiations are required with Brighton to arrange another deal. The German side is currently focusing on that. They recently canceled a last-minute bye to the lender as negotiations continued.
But if they can’t get him back on loan or with an obligation to buy, Harvey Elliott will come into play. He is set to return to Liverpool this summer after a disastrous loan spell at Aston Villa.
His deal at Anfield runs until 2027 so a decision will have to be made this summer. Will Liverpool extend his contract or move him on? According to BILD, the latter is more likely. They even say a deal worth €15-20m could be done.
Jurgen Klopp’s support
Leipzig tried to sign the 23-year-old last summer. But Liverpool’s ‘numerous demands’ for a loan deal thwarted that move.
However, the player has a ‘key advocate’ at the club in Jurgen Klopp. Elliott played 119 matches under the German coach at Liverpool and there is a close bond between them. He is now the ‘Global Boss’ of Red Bull and can have his say on this matter.
In fact, there is even a possibility that he could consider helping his former pupil after his disastrous year at Aston Villa. But first it all depends on what happens with Gruda.
If a deal can’t be reached for him, Harvey Elliott is a player that Leipzig knows and likes. A second attempt this summer cannot be ruled out.
