Harvey Elliott, RB Leipzig and Liverpool Transfer Question Raised on Media Matters

Elliott move enters focus

On Media Matters for Anfield Index, Dave Davis and Lewis Steele turned part of their Liverpool transfer discussion towards Harvey Elliott, RB Leipzig and how the club may shape its summer business.

Davis set the tone by saying Liverpool “have got to manage the pennies carefully,” before referencing recent reporting around Elliott’s future. He said: “Paul Joyce has referenced it. I saw Dominic King in the Telegraph as well.”

The key line came when Davis stated: “Harvey Elliott needs a permanent move, as Joyce said.” That framed the debate not as a vague squad conversation, but as one about a player whose pathway at Liverpool appears to be under real examination.

RB Leipzig link makes sense

Davis then brought RB Leipzig directly into the discussion, saying: “Red Bull Leipzig were only willing to pay €20m.” He added that if talks around “Yan Diomande” were to “progress formally,” then “it wouldn’t be a surprise if Elliott was used to bring down that €85m prize tag.”

Steele’s response was measured, but notably open. “It would make sense because Leipzig were the team that, for much of last summer, I thought that’s where Elliott was going to end up,” he said.

That matters because Steele presented Leipzig not as a random name thrown into the market noise, but as a club with previous interest. He added: “They seemed to be the team leading the race for most of the summer, alongside a couple of other German clubs.”
