Jurgen Klopp has set his sights on a Liverpool player he previously coached during his tenure at Anfield.
The ex-Liverpool manager is well aware of the talent within the squad and might be the one to lure away one of their standout stars this summer.
After years of delivering success to the Merseyside club, he could now cause them a major setback by swooping in for one of their key figures.
Following his departure from Anfield, the German has taken on the role of Head of Global Football at Red Bull.
Jurgen Klopp Wants Harvey Elliott at RB Leipzig Amid Premier League Interest
According to TBR Football, former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is keen on bringing Harvey Elliott to RB Leipzig this summer. The German tactician, now part of the Leipzig setup, is reportedly a strong admirer of the Liverpool youngster and sees him as a valuable addition to his new project in the Bundesliga.
Elliott, 21, has struggled for consistent minutes at Anfield, and with the imminent arrival of Florian Wirtz at Liverpool, his position in the squad has become even more uncertain. The England U21 international is believed to be open to leaving the Premier League champions in search of regular first-team football to aid his development.
Liverpool, now managed by Arne Slot, are said to be demanding around £40 million for the midfielder, who made 18 Premier League appearances last season—mostly from the bench.
Interest in Elliott is widespread. Alongside RB Leipzig, several Premier League clubs have reportedly enquired about his availability, including Tottenham, Newcastle, Fulham, Everton, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leeds, Brentford, and West Ham.
While Elliott’s preference earlier in the summer leaned toward staying at Anfield, the sheer volume of interest—and the chance for more consistent game time—suggests a departure is now increasingly likely.
A summer exit appears to be on the cards for Elliott, with Liverpool potentially cashing in on one of their most promising young talents
Harvey Elliott’s Future Uncertain Amid Summer Interest
Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has long been a firm believer in Harvey Elliott’s talent, once describing him as an “exceptional talent.” Under Klopp’s guidance, Elliott enjoyed significantly more playing time than he has experienced so far under new boss Arne Slot.
Despite strong interest from RB Leipzig, Elliott is reportedly not keen on making the switch to the Bundesliga side this summer. His reluctance to leave Anfield comes amid growing interest from several clubs, with his market value and demand currently at an all-time high—a situation that could ultimately benefit Liverpool should they choose to negotiate.
One notable voice urging a move is Jamie O’Hara, who has encouraged Elliott to consider joining Tottenham Hotspur in search of more regular first-team football.
As the transfer window heats up, Elliott’s next move remains uncertain, but his talent continues to attract attention from top clubs across Europe.
