Two NEW clubs come forward in deal for Harvey Elliott | OneFootball

Liverpool completed a loan deal for Harvey Elliott last summer.

The 22-year-old playmaker joined Aston Villa for the 2025/26 season - with a view to a permanent transfer in summer 2026. Villa would be obligated to pay £35m if the England under-21 international reached 10 appearances.

But there is little to no chance of that happening - with Unai Emery admitting the decision had been taken a long time ago.

Elliott is stuck on five appearances and although there is no break clause in the loan deal it looks like he could be returning to Liverpool this January.

Elliott options are restricted

What happens next for the midfielder is uncertain. Given his contract runs out in 2027 - and Liverpool waved him goodbye last summer thinking he would complete a permanent move - it appears Elliott is not in Arne Slot’s plans.

Complicating the picture however is the fact that he’s played for TWO clubs already this season - Aston Villa and Liverpool. Elliott is therefore unable to represent a third club in this campaign - meaning his next move is severely restricted.

If Elliott wanted a move elsewhere he would have to join a club whose season overlaps - such as MLS or the Brasileiro.

And it appears that the American league is under consideration by Elliott at last - with Sports Boom reporting that three clubs are now in the running for the two-time Premier League winner.
