Overview
- Aston Villa will not make Elliott’s 2025–26 loan permanent after manager Unai Emery said the club did not want to sign him.
- Elliott made just nine appearances for Villa this season, a run that stalled the purpose of the loan and reduced his market standing.
- Liverpool are prepared to listen to offers of about £25m as they aim to recoup value before his contract expires in 2027, a position reported on May 25.
- Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness has told media outlets that promoted teams including Sunderland, Coventry and Ipswich have been linked as potential suitors, with Leeds also named in some reports.
- All reported interest rests on Wyness’s contacts and transfer-market coverage, so no club has publicly confirmed a formal bid and talks could yet shift during the summer rebuild at Anfield.
