Image Credits: Imago ImagesLiverpool’s season is nearing its conclusion, and attention is already shifting towards the summer transfer window, which opens next month.After a disappointing second campaign under Arne Slot, significant work is expected in the market, alongside the added complication of a World Cup window.The Reds still need to secure their place in next season’s Champions League, but Slot remains confident results will improve if the club delivers the reinforcements they expect this summer.“Yeah, I do [think I can win the fans back],” he said.
“Not this season, by the way. This season they will have their opinion and it will not change but if we can have the summer that we are planning to have, I am 100 percent convinced we will be a different team next season than we are now.“Different in terms of results, different in how things look.
Players such as Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande have already been linked with moves to Anfield.Harvey Elliott’s future is also uncertain after a difficult loan spell at Aston Villa, where he has made just nine appearances in all competitions.The midfielder joined Villa on deadline day, with the club holding an obligation to buy worth £35m if he reached 10 Premier League appearances.However, Harvey Elliott has featured only four times in the league – starting once – with manager Unai Emery deciding as early as November not to pursue a permanent deal.According to BBC Sport, Elliott is attracting interest from clubs in the Premier League and across Europe, although he is still expected to return to Liverpool for pre-season.Elliott, who was named Player of the Tournament as England Under-21s won Euro 2025, is unlikely to feature prominently if Arne Slot remains in charge next season.Despite being well-liked at Aston Villa and earning praise for his professionalism, his loan spell is widely viewed as a setback in his development.The 23-year-old had hoped to break into Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup plans but has instead fallen behind teammate Elliot Anderson in the England pecking order.Harvey Elliott was an unused substitute in Villa’s 4-0 Europa League semi-final win over Nottingham Forest, which secured a final against Freiburg.
