"Slot couldn't provide much of a long-term outlook on Elliott, simply confirming that the England Under-21 international would be returning to the club this summer. Elliott has been out on loan at Aston Villa this season, but has played only four times for Unai Emery's side in the Premier League, and just nine times in all competitions. Overall, it's hard to imagine the 23-year-old's loan spell at Villa Park could've gone much worse, and that could make it tricky for Liverpool to offload him this summer."
"Speaking at his press conference today, Slot couldn't provide much of a long-term outlook on Elliott, simply confirming that the England Under-21 international would be returning to the club this summer. Slot on Harvey Elliott's future: "He is contracted to us, so he will be with us at the start of next season." #LFC Empire of the Kop (@empireofthekop) May 14, 2026 He is contracted to us, so he will be with us at the start of next season, Slot told reporters, as quoted by Empire of the Kop."
"Even if Slot currently expects Elliott back at Liverpool this summer, it's hard to imagine it will be for very long. Elliott had already fallen out of favour at LFC prior to his loan move, and his total lack of impact at Villa surely means the writing is on the wall for him. It's going to be a challenge from here for Elliott to rebuild his career, with the former Fulham wonderkid really struggling to live up to the potential he showed early on when he first broke through."
"There'll probably be some clubs out there who'd be open to giving Elliott a chance, but for now it could be a challenge for Liverpool to find buyers. More likely would be another loan spell."
Harvey Elliott is set to return to Liverpool this summer because he is under contract with the club. He spent the season on loan at Aston Villa, but made limited appearances, including four Premier League matches and nine total across all competitions. His loan spell did not significantly improve his standing, and he had already fallen out of favour at Liverpool before the move. Even with expectations of his return, his future beyond the start of next season is unclear. Liverpool may find it difficult to sell him due to his lack of impact, making another loan spell a more likely outcome.
