Harvey Elliott: Leipzig’s Dream, Chelsea’s Dilemma…
Liverpool’s midfield magician, Harvey Elliott, has caught the eye of RB Leipzig as they look to replace Xavi Simons, who recently made Germany his permanent home. Simons might soon be packing his suitcase for Chelsea, though the clubs are haggling over a few million—a sum one might find in a toddler’s piggy bank these days! Simons is gearing up for a friendly, as Chelsea hopes to grab him for a mere $67 million, but Leipzig is holding out for $81 million, like negotiating with a stubborn vending machine.
While Leipzig is all giddy about Elliott joining the Bundesliga bash, they first need to ship Simons off like a misbehaving kid being sent to boarding school. Leipzig isn’t exactly broke—thanks to Benjamin Sesko’s move to Manchester United, they might start using cash as coasters soon! Elliott, meanwhile, is contemplating the switch, or maybe just wondering if he should brush up on his German. He’s pondering his future like a man in a candy store with just one dollar, eager for international glory and constant success.
