Harvey Elliott’s situation at Aston Villa has reportedly angered Liverpool, and a loan termination may be on the cards amid interest from Bundesliga and Serie A clubs.
According to a report by Football Insider, Harvey Elliott has piqued the attention of Liverpool with his situation at Aston Villa. The West Midlands outfit signed the 22-year-old playmaker on a season-long loan deal on deadline day of the summer transfer window. However, the youngster has struggled for game time thus far in the 2025/26 season.
The report has revealed that the Reds are “fuming with Elliott’s lack of game time at Aston Villa” thus far in the 2025/26 season. A recall may be on the cards, as Bundesliga and Serie A clubs are interested in securing the Englishman’s services in the winter transfer window.
Harvey Elliott and his continued struggles
Harvey Elliott has seen his progress come to a stuttering halt in the last two years. While the 22-year-old has been impressive and promising since joining Liverpool from Fulham in July 2019, regular game time has eluded him since Arne Slot took over at Anfield. The struggles have intensified in the 2025/26 season, as his loan move to Aston Villa has not worked out as well as he would have liked.
The English playmaker has managed only 167 minutes of game time in five appearances thus far for Aston Villa. Unai Emery has been reluctant to hand any game time to the Liverpool loanee, even off the bench, and recent reports have speculated that the conditional obligation clause may have played a role in it.
What next for Elliott?
When Harvey Elliott joined Aston Villa, it seemed Liverpool and the youngster had made the right choice, as he seemed to fit into Unai Emery’s style of play. However, that has not transpired, as regular game time has eluded him at the West Midlands club in the first half of the 2025/26 season.
Meanwhile, the situation has piqued the attention of Liverpool, as they are concerned about his future. The latest report has revealed that the Reds are “fuming with Elliott’s lack of game time at Aston Villa” thus far in the 2025/26 season. With Bundesliga and Serie A clubs interested in the 22-year-old Englishman, a January recall may be on the cards.
With Liverpool closely monitoring Elliott’s situation at Aston Villa, it will not be surprising to see his dreadful loan stint end in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the English playmaker amid emerging interest from Bundesliga and Serie A clubs.
