With Jones close to joining Inter, it appears from reports that Elliot is close to moving on, with Leipzig front runners but also Leeds who have a shout. Both need new starts and hopefully we can use that money to bring in a top player.

Elliott has been "close to moving to Leipzig" for years, mate, and nothing has ever come of it. Leipzig seems to be the selected destination for him based on a few flimsy factors i.e. them developing young players that we can then buy back. Leipzig are simply not a club that chases (probably) overpriced, unused Premier League players. He isn't going there.
Off-topic but related - Elliott simply needs to move now.
His career has been derailed by Liverpool playing too nice with Aston Villa and granting that ridiculous appearances-buy clause in the loan deal. But Elliott has been at the club for 7 years now and needs to go and build a career. He has looked worse than ever during preseason, and with a coach who will unreservedly give players a chance.

Didn't Leipzig buy Werner back from Chelsea? If anyone can be classified as an "overpriced, unused Premier League player", I think he can.

Werner was a known quantity to Leipzig having had a successful spell there before his move to Chelsea, and they bought him back at half the price they sold him for. Even then, while Werner wasn't a success at Chelsea, he scored some important goals and showed he had plenty to offer in the right conditions.
Elliott is in a different situation, and would no doubt be overpriced given he has never held down a first-team spot in a top-flight team in his career.

Only other option then, Lowe, is Leeds. Let's hope we don't overvalue him, and get some money in even at £20m.

A year left on his contract? I think £20 million would be fantastic, I have my doubts, tho, but regardless he's another that needs to go.

Leipzig and Leeds are both part of the Red Bull Group, formerly headed up by Jurgen Klopp, who absolutely loves Elliott. It would make perfect sense if he'd advised both clubs to look into signing Elliott, before he took the Germany job.

How do we know the "only other options" is Leeds?

"Elliott has been "close to moving to Leipzig" for years, mate, and nothing has ever come of it."
Was gonna say the same thing, LoweLFC. So to me, I'm gonna have to see that happen at long last before I believe it.
As for Jones, whether he stays or goes, not really bothered anymore.

How can you criticise Villa for not playing Elliott when we don't?
They finished above us in the League and won a trophy last season, and he didn't really feature.
I don't think either club really fancies him, and it's up to him to get his career back on track.
And I think the links between Klopp, Red Bull and Elliott are tenuous at best.
