On May 13, Hupu announced that based on reports from the English media BBC, the BBC had updated the status of English midfielder Elliott, who is currently playing for Villa.
The BBC claims that Harvey Elliott is attracting interest from Premier League and European clubs, but he is still expected to return to Liverpool at the start of pre-season.
The 23-year-old, who was loaned to Aston Villa from Anfield, has endured a nightmare season, making just nine appearances in all competitions. However, Elliott, who won the 2025 European Youth Championship with the England U21 team last summer and was awarded the best player in the tournament, is still favored by many clubs in England and abroad. Elliott is unlikely to have a future at Liverpool if Slott continues to coach next season, but the attacking midfielder is expected to return to the AXA training center for pre-season training in the summer.
At the deadline last year, Elliott joined Villa on loan. There was a mandatory buyout clause in the agreement, that is, if he played 10 times in the Premier League, Villa would buy him out for 35 million pounds. Elliott only played 4 times, one of which was a starter. Coach Unai – Emery said he decided not to convert the loan into a permanent transfer in November. Villa and Liverpool discussed terminating the loan in January, but an agreement could not be reached. The two teams will face off in the Premier League at Villa Park on Friday, and Elliott is not eligible to face his parent team.
Elliott is popular within Villa's squad and at the club's Bodymoor training ground, where he has won praise for his mature approach to situations this season. However, sources seriously pointed out that this was a wasted year, causing his career to regress.
He joined Villa with the expectation of being part of Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad, but his U21 teammate Anderson got 6 appearances and became a regular player under Tuchel. He was an unused substitute in Thursday's 4-0 Europa League semi-final win over Nottingham Forest, which sealed Villa's place in the final against Freiburg. Earlier this month, Emery made seven changes to the Premier League match against Tottenham ahead of the semi-final second leg, with Elliott completely left out of the squad.
I think extra time coming maybe.
