- Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott's season-long loan at Aston Villa is concluding, with the player set to return to Anfield for pre-season.
- Elliott's time at Villa Park has been largely unproductive, as he has played only 284 minutes across the season and made just four Premier League appearances.
- The obligation to buy clause in his loan agreement, which required 10 Premier League appearances, was not met due to his limited playing time.
- Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed frustration regarding Elliott's lack of game time at Aston Villa, noting it did not work out as expected for any party involved.
- Despite reports of Liverpool potentially looking to sell him, Slot confirmed that Elliott, who has one year left on his contract, is currently part of the club's pre-season plans.
