Leverkusen are reported to have agreed that Liverpool can have a buy-back clause inserted into Quansah’s contract.
The 22-year-old will have strong interest from Premier League clubs and those abroad.
If Liverpool can agree a deal in the region of £35-40m for the England Under-21 star, but negotiate a buy-back clause into his contract at a new club, that could be the best piece of business sporting director Richard Hughes completes this summer.
Wirtz’s arrival and a new contract for Mohamed Salah mean Elliott is unlikely to earn much game time at Liverpool next season.
Brighton or Crystal Palace are destinations that might be desirable.
But if Liverpool can maintain some power over his future with a buy-back clause, then that would represent excellent business.
I just want to improve and be the best player I can be,” Elliott said last week.
"If that's to go somewhere else, then it's a decision I'm going to have to make.
It's just about what’s best for my career."
Having power over the future of a top player would be in Liverpool’s best interests.
