RB Leipzig consider moves for Liverpool midfielder and Chelsea outcast – with Xavi Simons still a target for Blues

Liverpool -midfielder Harvey Elliott trained as usual on Wednesday on Wednesday while RB Leipzig continues to show interest in the England U21 International.

The Bundesliga side is in conversation with Chelsea for Christopher Nunku, but also like Elliott as a replacement for Chelsea Target Xavi Simons.

The German side is supposed to demand at least £ 60 million for Simons, where sports director Marcel Schafer Bild recently tells: 'We know his great ambitions to play in a top competition for a title candidate.

“He wants to prove himself at the highest level. And if it is economically useful, we are open. But only then. If it is not financially for us, we look forward to a different season with this excellent player. '

Elliott has struggled for playing time under Arne Slot and the arrival of Florian Wirtz seems to have hindered his chances of the first team minutes further.

He played for the Reds in their community Shield defeat by Crystal Palace, who came from the bank at Wembley.

The 22-year-old missed his sentence in the shootout and it would be a cruel turn if that were his last act in a Liverpool shirt, the club he has always supported.

Despite his affection for the club, Elliott seemed to indicate his intention before the summer when he admitted that he cannot continue to waste 'years' of his career.

“It's just a situation that I and the team have to have a conversation about me, because now I come to an age where I am 22, I am going to turn 23 next season, and I don't really want to waste years of my career, because it is a short career,” Elliott said.

'I just want to improve and be the best possible version of myself and the best player I can be.

“If that goes somewhere else, then it's a decision that I have to make and I just have to see what happens.”

Elliott is popular with Reds supporters after 147 races for the club. Nunku is now expected to be abandoned Stamford Bridge within the next two weeks.

He fell even further in the pecking order with the additions of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer.
