Unai Emery has proposed that Liverpool should relinquish the obligatory purchase clause in Harvey Elliott’s loan contract to prevent the 22-year-old from not playing for the rest of the season. Liverpool are unwilling to change an agreement which is three appearances away from resulting in a significant profit for them. Unai Emery confirmed Aston Villa first suggested removing the mandatory purchase clause in Elliott’s loan contract three months prior, but Liverpool have not accepted their argument. Villa did not pay the penalty fee that was needed to terminate the loan agreement during the winter window. Elliott had publicly stated his desire to stay at Liverpool, while also acknowledging the need to leave in the summer after not receiving much playing time under Reds boss Arne Slot.

Harvey Elliott's season-long loan to Aston Villa includes a conditional obligation for Villa to buy him for £35m if he makes 10 appearances. Unai Emery and Villa decided they did not want to sign the playmaker permanently and began omitting him from their matchday squads to prevent him from reaching the appearance target. The agreement does not contain a recall clause, and Elliott would have been unable to join another UEFA club during the middle of the season. The Athletic reported that Elliott had secretly hoped Liverpool would recall him last month. Elliott's situation changed in recent weeks because of injuries to Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, and Youri Tielemans, leading to his return to the squad. He has played in Villa’s last two matches and is now three appearances away from the loan becoming permanent. Villa and Emery still do not want to sign the player on a long-term basis, and the possibility of starting a dialogue with Liverpool to change the terms of the agreement was raised. The BBC reported that Liverpool and Villa have held discussions about altering the deal but did not reach an agreement. Emery has suggested that he will not alter his position.

According to Goal.com, Harvey Elliott is facing a difficult conclusion to the season at Aston Villa because Liverpool refused to waive a fee that would have allowed his loan to be terminated.

Harvey Elliott's loan to Aston Villa from Liverpool includes a conditional £35m purchase obligation, which is activated if he makes 10 appearances. Manager Unai Emery did not want to sign the playmaker, and Elliott was consequently omitted from matchday squads. Consideration was given to ending the loan, but complications arose due to the lack of a recall clause. If Elliott had returned to Liverpool for another loan, he would have been eligible to play only for a club outside of the UEFA confederation. A potential move to MLS side Charlotte FC was explored, but the idea was rejected by Elliott. According to The Daily Mail, the two clubs now intend to negotiate to modify the terms of the loan. The negotiations are likely to focus on either increasing the appearance target that triggers the obligation or changing the obligation to buy into an option.

It is suggested that the clubs may negotiate a new deal.

Harvey Elliott joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan last September with an agreement that the club would sign him for $47 million (£35M) on a permanent deal if he made 10 Premier League appearances. For the transfer to proceed, five of the appearances must be played in the second half of this season, according to Telegraph Sport. In December, Unai Emery announced that Villa would not be making his deal permanent and revealed he made that decision one month after Elliott signed for the club. Emery said the problem with Harvey is that he is on loan this year, and if he plays matches, Villa must buy him. He stated that the club decided two months prior that they were not convinced to sign him by spending the required money. Emery called this the only issue, adding that Elliott trains every day with very good behaviour and helps in training sessions. He noted that the situation is not good for Elliott or for the club, but it is football and sometimes decisions must be taken that are not good for everyone.
