Liverpool player has had reluctant summer exit all but confirmed; agent already working on a move
It’s become increasingly clear that Harvey Elliott’s long-term future lies away from Liverpool, even though he remains on the Reds’ books for now.
The attacking midfielder joined Aston Villa on an initial loan basis last September, with the move becoming permanent once he makes 10 Premier League appearances for the Midlands club. Nearly eight months later, he’s played just nine times in all competitions.
Unwanted by both Unai Emery and Arne Slot, the 23-year-old has been left in limbo, and Dominic King reported last week that the LFC hierarchy ‘will look to cash in’ on him during the summer transfer window.
Elliott informed he has no future at Liverpool
According to Graeme Bailey for TEAMtalk, Elliott’s initial preference had been to try and revive his Liverpool career, but the message coming out of Anfield is that a permanent exit would be in the best interests of everyone concerned.
His agents have reportedly approached Leeds, Brighton, Brentford, Newcastle and his former club Fulham to sound out their interest over a potential deal.
Of that quintet, the Seagulls and Bees are said to be his likeliest options, with that pair possibly needing larger squad if either or both qualify for Europe. The Magpies’ previous interest is believed to have faded, and the Elland Road outfit are understood to have other transfer priorites for
the summer.
