Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Harvey Elliott will return to Liverpool from Aston Villa in the January transfer window. 

The winger joined Villa on loan from Premier League rivals in the summer of 2025, with the Villans having the obligation to make the deal permanent should he make 10 appearances.

Elliott has made only five appearances for Villa so far this season, scoring one goal in the process.

Italian journalist Romano has said on his YouTube channel: “Aston Villa decided to go for Harvey Elliott last minute. 

It was on deadline day, but he’s not playing and so Liverpool are obviously not happy.

“The player is not happy and Villa want to find a solution. So Harvey Elliott is expected to return to Liverpool and then assess the situation, whether he’s going to stay or find a new solution on loan.

“So discussions will take place on the future of Harvey Elliott.”
