Aston Villa’s agreement to sign Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott reportedly comes with strings attached.
According to multiple sources, the Midlands club will only be obliged to pay the full £35 million fee if Elliott reaches a specific number of appearances before the season ends. However, that target remains undisclosed. 👀
The 22-year-old was notably absent from Villa’s 1–0 victory over Manchester City and is ineligible to face his parent club, Liverpool, this weekend. Inside reports suggest Unai Emery is yet to be fully convinced by the young playmaker, leaving his long-term future at Villa Park uncertain.
Meanwhile, interest from several European clubs — particularly in Germany — continues to grow, with scouts closely monitoring Elliott’s situation.
Should the deal be finalized, Liverpool will reportedly retain both a buy-back clause and a sell-on percentage, ensuring they stay linked to his career progress.
Despite his limited minutes, Elliott is said to remain determined but frustrated, having left Anfield seeking regular football under new boss Arne Slot.
