Harvey Elliott’s Villa Loan Stalls as Conflicting Reports Surface on January Plan

Reports diverge on a January recall, leaving Elliott’s future unclear under a 10-appearance £35m trigger.

Overview

  • Elliott has made five appearances totaling under 200 minutes for Aston Villa, with his last outing on October 2.
  • The loan includes an obligation for Villa to buy for about £35m once he reaches 10 appearances.
  • Football Insider reports Liverpool are weighing a January recall and could accept offers if the deal ends, while The Athletic’s account cited elsewhere says there is no recall clause and neither club is pushing to terminate early.
  • Unai Emery has rarely selected Elliott despite staff reportedly praising his attitude and training application.
  • Having already played for Liverpool this season, competition rules mean he cannot feature for a third club, tightening options as he seeks minutes to stay in England contention.
