RB Leipzig have reportedly opened initial talks with Liverpool<\/a> over signing midfielder Harvey Elliott.<\/p>\n

According to the Athletic<\/a>, the Bundesliga<\/a> side have made contact with the Premier League<\/a> champions to discuss a possible deal.<\/p>\n

The German club have reportedly targeted Elliott as a possible replacement for Dutch international Xavi<\/a> Simons.<\/p>\n

Simons was left out of RB Leipzig’s squad for their pre-season friendly on the weekend amid intense speculation over his future.<\/p>\n

The attacking midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

Elliott, however, was in action on Monday as Liverpool held back-to-back friendlies against Athletic Club at Anfield.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig reportedly view Elliott as a direct replacement for Xavi Simons, who appears Chelsea bound<\/p>\n

Elliott scored in Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over the LaLiga side in their opening match of the double header.<\/p>\n

The midfielder admitted earlier this summer that he may have to consider his future at the club.<\/p>\n

It followed Elliott starting just\u00a0two matches in the Premier League, both coming after the Reds had clinched the title.<\/p>\n

The arrival of\u00a0Florian Wirtz<\/a>\u00a0looks to have hindered his chances of first-team minutes further.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elliott appeared to indicate his intention for the summer when he admitted he cannot continue ‘wasting years’ of his career.<\/p>\n

‘It’s just a situation that me and the team on my behalf have to have a conversation about, because I’m coming to an age now where I’m 22, I’m going to be 23 next season, and I don’t really want to be wasting years of my career, because it’s a short career,’ Elliott said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I just want to improve and be the best possible version of myself and the best player I can be.<\/p>\n

Elliott admitted earlier this summer that he may need to leave in pursuit of first team football<\/p>\n

Elliott netted five goals en route to being named Player of the Tournament at the U21 Euros<\/p>\n

‘If that’s to go somewhere else, then it’s a decision I’m going to have to make and I just need to see what happens.’<\/p>\n

Elliott is popular among Reds supporters after 147 games for the club.<\/p>\n

Elliott had underlined his quality by being named Under 21\u00a0European Championship’s Player of the Tournament, after scoring five times in six matches en route England defending their title.<\/p>\n

Reports have claimed Liverpool would consider Elliott for \u00a340million if a buy-back clause is inserted into the deal or \u00a350m without.<\/p>\n
