Transfer negotiations are reportedly ongoing between Leipzig and Liverpool over Harvey Elliott, the highly-rated midfielder. The clubs are believed to be some way apart on valuation, but dialogue is open as they look to strike a deal ahead of the run-in. Unconfirmed reports suggest both sides are hopeful of finding a resolution in the coming days - with other interested clubs said to be circling. Leipzig remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Chelsea continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Leipzig are only scoring 1.33 goals per game (8 in 6) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Harvey Elliott would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Liverpool have also been linked with Federico Gatti, Yoane Wissa and Tyler Morton while Leipzig are reportedly monitoring Fabio Silva, Rasmus Winther Hojlund and Christopher Nkunku.
