At 22 years old, Elliott has demonstrated potential, yet he has struggled to secure consistent playing time at Anfield this season, leading to speculation about his future.
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are open to selling Elliott this summer, with an asking price estimated between £40 million and £50 million. While this figure may appear steep for a player who has not been a regular starter, his technical ability and promise make him an attractive prospect for any Premier League club.
For Elliott, the need for regular first-team football is paramount. Prolonged periods on the bench are unlikely to facilitate the development required to evolve into the reliable midfielder many believe he can become. A move away from Liverpool could offer him the chance to revitalise his career at a club where he can fully express his talents.
Aston Villa are not alone in their interest; Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth are also monitoring his situation closely. The Villans could significantly benefit from Elliott’s creativity, particularly in the attacking third, where he possesses the ability to dismantle opposition defences and create scoring opportunities. As Villa aim to build on their recent successes, integrating a player of Elliott’s calibre would align seamlessly with their ambitions.
On Liverpool's side, the club are actively pursuing reinforcements, particularly in offensive areas. Selling Elliott could free up vital funds, enabling them to enhance their attacking options. As the summer transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether any club, including Aston Villa, will make an offer that meets Liverpool's expectations.
In addition to Villa, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are also said to be keeping tabs on Elliott’s situation, indicating that the race for his signature could be competitive.
