Harvey Elliott considers that he doesn’t want to “waste” Liverpool’s future with England International
Harvey Elliott admits he is scrunching his future at Liverpool, and that he sits on the fringe and insists that even the club he deeply loves don’t want to “wash” the years of his career.
The 22-year-old midfielder was a perimeter under Arne Slot last season, starting two Premier League starts in the game after Liverpool had already won the title.
Of his 28 appearances in all competitions, only six starters, and despite scoring five goals and adding three assists, he recorded just 822 minutes of action.
This marked a sharp decline from the previous season, when Elliott made 53 appearances (27 starts), and contributed four goals and 11 assists in a groundbreaking campaign.
Well, ahead of the European Under 21 Championship in Slovakia this summer, Elliott says it’s time to reflect and possibly reevaluate.
“It’s a short career so I don’t want to waste years on my career,” Elliott told reporters.
“I need to look back, I need to see if I’m happy with what I’m doing and how I can improve as a player, as it’s the most important thing.

Elliott admitted that the club has a lot of time. “I love the club, I love the fans, the team. I support them too” – he made it clear that he’s not eliminating movements if that means more regular playing time.
“If it goes somewhere, it’s a decision I have to make. There’s nothing that makes me want to leave…but that’s what’s best for my career.”
The complex issue reports interest in Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wiltz, a player who is likely to occupy the same creative midfield area as Elliott. That potential signature could push the England U21 International further down the hierarchy.
Elliot also referenced the effects of the broken leg impact he suffered in September, locking him out for nearly three months. He returned in December and hoped that the dramatic winner against Paris Saint-Germain in the final 16 Champions League would be a turning point.
“I thought PSG was a bit expensive for me. I thought it was an opportunity to get off to the start and show you what I could,” he said.
“But the boss is the boss. He’s the reason we won the league and we can’t complain.”
