Elliott, who moved to Aston Villa on loan during the summer, has struggled to cement a consistent place under Unai Emery. Despite his clear potential, the 22-year-old has found minutes hard to come by — a situation Liverpool believe is slowing down his development at a crucial stage of his career.
Liverpool considering early recall and permanent sale
Reports indicate that Liverpool are ready to end the loan spell early and arrange a permanent exit in January. Villa’s option to make the deal permanent—believed to be worth around £35 million—will not be triggered, as the required conditions haven’t been met due to his limited involvement.
Instead, Liverpool are said to be open to accepting a much smaller fee, with the priority now shifting toward finding Elliott a club where he can play regularly and rebuild his momentum. A move abroad has even been floated as a potentially beneficial step.
A gifted player seeking the right stage
Elliott, long regarded as a highly gifted young midfielder capable of playing wide or centrally, has already demonstrated flashes of brilliance during his time at Anfield. His technical ability, creativity, and versatility have earned him praise, with some previously describing him as an “outstanding” young talent.
With several teams across Europe monitoring his situation, the January window could offer him a fresh start — and Liverpool a chance to reshape their squad.
