Liverpool is reportedly finalizing talks to sell £40m attacker Harvey Elliott to RB Leipzig amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Here’s the latest update on the potential transfer ¹:

– Transfer Talks: Liverpool is in advanced talks with RB Leipzig over a potential sale of Elliott, with the German club interested in signing the 22-year-old winger. Tottenham Hotspur is also in the race, but Leipzig’s progress in negotiations might give them an edge.

– Transfer Fee: Liverpool is seeking a £40m package for Elliott, which could include a buy-back clause. Alternatively, the Reds would accept a £50m fee without any such clause attached.

– Elliott’s Future: Elliott’s limited minutes under Arne Slot have led to speculation about his future at Liverpool. The winger has hinted that he might need to move on to further his career, and a transfer to Leipzig or Tottenham could provide him with regular game time.

Potential Impact on Liverpool

– Attacking Options: Selling Elliott would reduce Liverpool’s attacking options, but the club’s recent signings, including Jeremie Frimpong, might mitigate this impact.

– Transfer Strategy: Liverpool’s willingness to sell Elliott reflects their transfer strategy under Arne Slot, focusing on identifying young, high-potential players and selling them for a profit.

– Competition for Signings: The transfer window is heating up, and Liverpool will need to act quickly to secure their desired signings while navigating potential sales like Elliott’s.

Other Transfer Rumors

– Alexander Isak: Liverpool is also pursuing Alexander Isak, with a potential record transfer fee involved. Newcastle United’s Saudi owners have warned Isak that he won’t be allowed to leave, which might complicate the transfer.

– Milos Kerkez: Liverpool is close to signing Milos Kerkez, a young left-back from Bournemouth, with personal terms agreed and clubs in talks. Kerkez’s friendship with Dominik Szoboszlai might facilitate the transfer ² ¹.
