Liverpool's future plans involving Harvey Elliott remain uncertain with his potential departure hinging on two key factors as the transfer window nears its close. RB Leipzig have expressed keen interest in signing Elliott, while Premier League clubs have also followed the 22-year-old’s progress following his impressive performances at the Under-21 European Championships this summer.
Despite the external interest, recent matchday squad decisions suggest Liverpool manager Arne Slot may be preparing for a future without Elliott; he did not feature against Bournemouth and was substituted in late against Newcastle. Liverpool, however, remain focused on strengthening their attacking options, targeting Newcastle’s Alexander Isak amid the striker’s refusal to play for Newcastle this season and a rejected initial bid from Liverpool.
The two pivotal conditions for Elliott’s sale are:
- If Alexander Isak joins Liverpool, allowing room for Elliott to leave.
- If RB Leipzig makes an offer that Liverpool finds financially irresistible.
Newcastle’s pursuit of Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade is also a relevant factor, as a successful deal may pave the way for Newcastle to sanction Isak's transfer to Liverpool, which would indirectly influence Elliott’s departure possibility.
Should these conditions not be met, Elliott is now more likely to remain at Liverpool this summer despite ongoing speculation and outside interest.
