Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott is reportedly very close to completing a move to Aston Villa on a loan deal that includes an obligation to buy, with the total package valued around £35 million. This development is nearing finalization ahead of the transfer window deadline, with Elliott expected to undergo a medical soon and awaiting travel permission for it.
The arrival of Alexander Isak at Liverpool has opened up the possibility of Elliott's departure, suggesting that the club is making room in its squad. Elliott, who played sparingly last season, appears ready to continue his career at Villa, where advanced talks are underway and a verbal agreement between the clubs has reportedly been reached.
Simultaneously, Liverpool is said to be seeking a replacement for Elliott, as his exit seems imminent. Reports also mention interest from other clubs like RB Leipzig, who sold Xavi Simons to Tottenham and might need a new creative midfielder. However, the Aston Villa deal looks the most concrete at this stage.
This potential transfer marks a significant move in the Premier League's final day of the summer window, as Villa look to strengthen their squad with a talented young playmaker and Liverpool reshapes its roster following recent signings.
