Overview
- Leipzig have discussed Elliott internally, though reporting says the club will first try to keep Brighton winger Brajan Gruda on a loan with a buy option or obligation.
- Elliott returns to Liverpool after a quiet loan at Aston Villa, and with a deal that runs to 2027 he is viewed as a likely sale for about €15–20 million.
- His minutes at Villa were sparse at nine matches and 284 total minutes, with reports pointing to a clause that would have forced a €40 million purchase after ten appearances.
- Villa head coach Unai Emery called the situation embarrassing and said he felt sorry for Elliott.
- BILD and SPORT BILD note Jürgen Klopp brought Elliott to Liverpool and remains a supporter in his current global role linked to Leipzig.
