"The loan deal reportedly included an obligation to buy set at 35 million, contingent on Elliott making 10 appearances for the club. We are speaking with him. Hopefully we can get a solution for him to try to play consistently, to continue in his career with us or not. He is on loan here, but not definitely adding to us with a permanent contract."
"Elliott's time in the Midlands has been frustrated by tactical misalignments and stiff competition, with the midfielder failing to displace Villa's established players. His last outing came over two months ago, and he has frequently been left out of matchday squads entirely. What's next for Harvey Elliot? Harvey Elliott is expected to return to Liverpool next month. The midfielder was allowed to leave Anfield in the summer having fallen down the pecking order under Arne Slot."
Unai Emery confirmed that Aston Villa will not be exercising the option to sign Liverpool loanee Harvey Elliott permanently. The loan included an obligation to buy for £35 million contingent on 10 appearances, a threshold unlikely to be met after only five appearances and no action since October. Elliott struggled for minutes due to tactical misalignment and competition, failing to displace established Villa players. He is expected to return to Liverpool next month. Liverpool may loan or sell him again given his place in the pecking order under Arne Slot, though a managerial change could offer an unexpected opportunity.
