Given how little Harvey Elliott has played this season – and the calls for more output from Dominik Szoboszlai – it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Slot target a new creative midfielder.

Reports have claimed that Elliott could be sold if a good offer comes in and there have been suggestions that Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig may be the player to replace him.

Addressing those claims while speaking to his YouTube channel, journalist Fabrizio Romano confirms that Liverpool are indeed likely to be in the mix for Simons this summer.

“Xavi Simons has concrete possibilities of leaving Red Bull Leipzig already in this summer transfer window,” he says.

“It’s not guaranteed, but it’s a concrete possibility.”

“There are movements and my understanding is that for something around let’s say 70 to 75 million Euros [£58-63m], there is a chance to strike a deal for Xavi Simons.”

“The Premier League is the most concrete possibility.

In the current set-up, we can’t see that happening.

Nevertheless, Romano is adamant that Premier League remains the most likely option for Simons, even if the player himself is still ‘dreaming’ of a return to Barcelona at some stage.

“It is still early but the situation could be open in the summer and all these clubs are watching closely,” he says.

“Because my understanding is there is a concrete chance to see Xavi Simons leaving.

Barcelona is a dream but Premier League is a concrete possibility.

It depends on the opportunities but for sure he’s going to be one to watch in the summer transfer window.”

Former Leipzig teammate Dani Olmo called Simons ‘amazing‘, praising the 21-year-old’s dribbling technique as well as his finishing ability.
