Heading into the summer, Wirtz has been linked with Liverpool, Manchester City and Bayern Munich already.

The Englishman has been outcast by Slot and, speaking after Liverpool’s 3-2 loss to Brighton on Monday, it seems that Elliott is unsure whether his future lies at Anfield.

These doubts, coupled with the fact that he has plenty of potential to live up to, mean that it’s not all that surprising to see teams showing an interest in the midfielder.

And, as per a report from German outlet Fussball Transfers, Bayer Leverkusen now have Elliott on their ‘list’ of potential targets.

Both Liverpool and Leverkusen have players that each other want, and if Slot wants to get Wirtz’s price down, Elliott could be used as a bargaining chip to sweeten the deal.
