Liverpool loanee Harvey Elliott, an attacking midfielder, could leave Aston Villa after six months because he is not in manager Unai Emery's plans and has not played since early October. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano writes that there is a strong possibility the 22-year-old will return to Liverpool. According to Romano, Charlotte FC is ready to make an offer, which would permit the Englishman to play in Major League Soccer until June. Elliott has not yet made a decision about his future. His loan to Aston Villa, which he joined in September 2025, runs until June 2026, and his contract with parent club Liverpool expires in June 2027. In 4 Premier League appearances this season, he has not registered a goal or an assist, and his current Transfermarkt valuation is €30.00m. He has 28 caps and 14 goals for the England U21 team. Crystal Palace and Fulham have also been recently linked with the player. The loan deal to Aston Villa reportedly included a conditional obligation-to-buy clause valued at approximately €41 million in late 2025, while Liverpool's asking price during the summer of 2025 was reported to be between €47 million and €59 million.
