Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott has been linked with a move to the Bundesliga, and RB Leipzig have been keen on signing him.
According to an update by reputed German journalist Philipp Hinze, Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig are now unlikely to sign Harvey Elliott because of Liverpool’s asking price and wages. So, Die Roten Bullen have been priced out of a move for the 22-year-old.
Elliott has been outstanding in the Under-21s this summer, and he was one of the best players in the tournament as he helped England win the competition. The youngster has been heavily linked with a move away from Liverpool this summer, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He needs to leave the Premier League champions to play regularly.
Sitting on the bench at Liverpool is unlikely to benefit him, and moving to Germany could have been ideal for him amid his links with RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga giants could have provided him with ample opportunities.
The Englishman has been linked with multiple English clubs as well. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to come forward and pay up for him. The 22-year-old is a tremendous prospect with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player for the right club. He is certainly good enough to compete at the highest level.
The English playmaker has shown his ability with Liverpool during his cameos. Elliott is capable of operating as a central attacking midfielder as well as on the flanks. His versatility will be an added bonus for any club that manages to secure his signature.
Elliott needs a move
The 22-year-old is a boyhood Liverpool fan, and he is not pushing for an exit from the club. However, he needs to consider a move this summer for his own benefit. If the youngster can play regularly and fulfil his potential, he will have plenty of opportunities to move to elite clubs in the future.
Harvey Elliott is regarded as one of the finest young talents in the league, and sitting on the bench at Liverpool is detrimental to his development. The player should look to sort out his long-term future quickly and focus on his football.
