Photo: Leipzig wants to sign Elliott to replace Simmons, Klopp participates in the fight for players

August 6th, RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simmons wants to leave the team. German media Bild said that the club regards Liverpool midfielder Elliot as a replacement, and now Klopp is also involved in the signing.

Harvey Simmons had missed the warm-up game against Atlanta due to neck discomfort and trained with the team again on Tuesday. But one hour later, for load management reasons, he conducted personal running training, and he was called back to the team when the coach finished his training.

The 22-year-old attacker's mood to leave is obvious and it is undisguised: he has recently removed RB Leipzig from his Instagram profile, and his body language is consistent with this.

But the problem is: although he has reached a large extent with Chelsea, the club has not submitted a formal offer to RB Leipzig so far, so the player continues to train in Leipzig - he is expected to bring in more than 70 million euros transfer fees. As of now, Harvey Simmons will also play in the warm-up match against Lens on Saturday.

However, RB Leipzig is already paying attention to a possible replacement: As Bistro exclusively reported on Monday, the club is still actively striving to sign Liverpool's Elliott. The 22-year-old midfielder is currently contracted until 2027, but his prospect of gaining playing time is limited due to fierce competition within the team.

This is exactly the opportunity for Leipzig: Biography learned that in addition to sports general manager Schefel, Red Bull football global head Klopp is also working hard to win Elliott.

When Elliott transferred from Fulham to Liverpool U23 in 2019, Klopp was the head coach of the Reds' first team. He made his first appearance for the first team in 2020 and played a total of 119 games under Klopp.

Eleven Elliott performed well this summer: he scored a total of 5 goals and was named the best player in the tournament. Biography reported that Leipzig was interested in Elliott as early as early July.

But the biggest problem is still: Elliott's price will be very high, and Liverpool is still discussing the buyback terms. It takes great imagination to achieve this transfer: what transfer mode the two clubs will set for this deal and what career paths will outline for players.

Because: In Leipzig, Elliott can continue to mature and develop through a lot of playing time and responsibility. Leipzig is undergoing reconstruction and has successfully attracted other talented players this summer even if they do not have the Champions League qualification next season.

For example, after joining the heavy signing, 22-year-old Bakayoko said that an impressive dialogue between him and Klopp ultimately prompted him to join Leipzig. And now, hopefully this approach works again with Elliott.
