Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided the latest update on Leipzig’s pursuit of the England youth international. Plettenberg posted on X: “Harvey #Elliott and RB Leipzig are already in advanced talks over personal terms. Leipzig want him, as revealed days ago.

After being given a lack of first-team opportunities during Arne Slot's maiden, title-winning campaign with Liverpool, clubs have been alerted to his potential availability, and Leipzig have joined the pack. The Bundesliga outfit reportedly view him as a replacement for Xavi Simons, who is close to a switch to Chelsea.

The central midfielder said in June he was wary of 'wasting years of my career' due to his lack of game-time at Anfield.
