Liverpool is concerned about Harvey Elliott's situation at Aston Villa.

The young English midfielder, who was loaned last summer, has hardly had any playing time, jeopardizing the £35 million purchase option included in his loan contract. What seemed like a profitable deal for the 'Reds' could end up being a considerable financial loss.

Liverpool's Plan Complicated

The agreement between Liverpool and Aston Villa stated that the loan of Harvey Elliott would become a permanent transfer if the player made ten official appearances with the Birmingham club. However, after a promising start, his participation has come to a sudden halt.

Elliott has only played five matches so far and, surprisingly, was left out of the squad in Aston Villa's last game. Since September, he has not played in the Premier League, and the most striking aspect is that it is not due to an injury but a technical decision.

If this trend continues, the player will not reach the required number of games to trigger the purchase clause, leaving Liverpool without the expected £35 million.

A Cooling Transfer

In Birmingham, Harvey Elliott's role has weakened. Despite Aston Villa betting on him to add dynamism to their attack, the midfielder has failed to adapt to Unai Emery's style. Expectations were high, but his lack of impact in the game has led the coach to prioritize other players.

The issue for Liverpool is that this lack of prominence could prove costly. The club was counting on those £35 million as a secure income for the upcoming summer, a key figure in their financial planning. However, the player's poor performance has cast doubt on that operation.

Harvey Elliott, Between Promise and Uncertainty

At 22 years old, Harvey Elliott remains one of England's most highly valued young prospects, but his progression seems to have stalled. Similar cases have been seen at Manchester United or Chelsea: talented players who fail to establish themselves while on loan.

For Liverpool, the concern is twofold: if Aston Villa decides not to execute the purchase, the player will return to Anfield without continuity or competitive rhythm, complicating his sale or reintegration into Arne Slot's team.

A Financial Problem for Liverpool

The possible failure of this loan deal represents a setback both economically and sportively for Liverpool. Instead of receiving the expected £35 million, the club could end up with a devalued player and limited market.

Furthermore, Harvey Elliott's poor form reduces his appeal to other European teams. His inconsistent performance makes it difficult for another club to match the figure that Aston Villa was willing to pay.

Liverpool had hoped that this deal would finance future acquisitions and offload a player with few first-team chances. However, everything points to this plan going awry, and Liverpool might see £35 million vanish due to their young prospect's lack of minutes.

The situation is far from resolved, but in the Anfield offices, they already acknowledge that this loan has not gone as expected. If things do not change, Liverpool will miss a valuable opportunity to make money and will have to reconsider Harvey Elliott's future next summer.
