š„ Liverpool Could Exploit Little-Known FIFA Loophole for Harvey Elliott Move
Football transfer rules are usually strict, but every now and then a hidden clause pops upāand Liverpool might be about to use one to their advantage. š
Most fans already know that FIFA only allows a player to play for two clubs in a single season, even though they can technically be registered with three. But thereās a twist many forget.
According to reports from BBC Sport, Liverpool could tap into a special exemption by sending Harvey Elliott to Major League Soccer, where the new campaign kicks off in February.
ā½ How the Loophole Works
The exception comes into play when a footballer moves between leagues that operate on different seasonal calendars. If the player has fulfilled all contractual duties at their previous clubs, the rules allow them to represent a third team without any penalties.
š What This Means for Liverpool
This opens a very real possibility:
Liverpool could arrange a third move for Elliott this same season while still staying within FIFAās guidelines.
Itās a rare pathwayābut one the Reds might be tempted to explore as they look for the best outcome for the young midfielderās development.
