RB Leipzig have reportedly opened initial talks with Liverpool over signing midfielder Harvey Elliott.
According to the Athletic, the Bundesliga side have made contact with the Premier League champions to discuss a possible deal.
The German club have reportedly targeted Elliott as a possible replacement for Dutch international Xavi Simons.
Simons was left out of RB Leipzig's squad for their pre-season friendly on the weekend amid intense speculation over his future.
The attacking midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea this summer.
