German famous reporter Falk was interviewed by CaughtOffside, and he said that Elliott may join RB Leipzig.

Falke said: "After suffering from neck pain, Xavi Simmons returned to the team for training on Tuesday. Leipzig is still willing to sell the midfielder for €60-70 million. His transfer to Chelsea will be suspended until the Blues make a suitable offer."

"If the deal is reached, Leipzig has locked in Liverpool's Elliot as a replacement. Klopp, who once coached him, will become a key figure in the promotion of the deal. The Liverpool meritorious coach is regarded as Leipzig's secret weapon and is expected to convince Elliot to join."

Sources close to Liverpool club revealed that the Reds' asking price for Elliot is about £50 million.
