Liverpool fans have reacted all but unanimously after they received an update on Harvey Elliott’s future at Anfield.

Elliott has struggled for consistent game time under Arne Slot this season, featuring mainly as a substitute. He was only brought on in the final minutes of Liverpool’s last game against Man City.

The 21-year-old is approaching a precarious stage in his career, with just two years left on his current contract. Football Insider revealed that Liverpool would be open to selling Elliott if he does not commit to a new deal.

Liverpool have already opened talks with Elliott over an extension, but so far, there has been no public confirmation of negotiations.

Now, fresh details have emerged regarding Elliott’s future, sparking a strong reaction from supporters who all share the same sentiment.

Harvey Elliott’s future at Liverpool hangs in the balance

Paul Joyce of The Times has reported that Elliott “must reflect on whether he will ever be granted the playing time he craves” as talks over a new contract remain unresolved.

Liverpool fans have previously criticised Elliott’s performances, particularly after the FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle, where he conceded a costly penalty in the 1-0 loss.

The 21-year-old has struggled for regular minutes, with players like Dominik Szoboszlai preferred in midfield. He has made just 17 appearances this season, scoring three goals and providing one assist in only 503 minutes of action.

Elliott is yet to start a Premier League match this season, and when handed a rare start against Plymouth, he failed to impress.

Liverpool could move on from Harvey Elliott amid squad rebuild

With fierce competition for a starting place, the England Under-21 international must decide whether his long-term future lies at Anfield.

If a new deal isn’t agreed upon, Liverpool could opt to cash in rather than risk losing him for a reduced fee later. The club is already dealing with major contract concerns, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah all entering the final months of their deals.

To avoid a similar situation, the club may look to sell, and many fans believe it’s the right move. One supporter claimed, “He’s had plenty of chances and failed” while another bluntly stated he’s just “Not good enough” for Liverpool.
