Harvey Elliott is reportedly a “standout” target for AC Milan, with his chances of making the move to Serie A being described as “concrete.” Aston Villa failed the 23-year-old last season when he was frozen on their bench for the majority of the 2025/26 campaign. Now, Liverpool could sell him, with AC Milan said to be seriously interested in signing him.

AC Milan step up interest in Elliott According to a report from Caught Offside, AC Milan are stepping up their interest in Elliott in the final days of the 2026 summer transfer window. “The Reds ace is back at Anfield for the time being after a difficult spell on loan at Aston Villa last season, but it might be that another move is on the cards for him soon as AC Milan step up their interest.

“Should a deal be completed, Elliott’s ability to play both on the right wing and in central areas would give Milan significant tactical flexibility and allow for in game formation shifts.” A move away from Anfield is in Elliott’s best interests The situation for Elliott now means that his best option would be whichever guarantees him the most game time. That’s before you even consider the detrimental effect last season’s loan at Villa Park had on him.
