Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has challenged Liverpool to give up the obligatory purchase clause in Harvey Elliott’s loan contract if they want to avoid the 22-year-old spending the remainder of the season on the sidelines.
Elliott joined Villa last summer on an initial loan deal which would turn into a permanent transfer worth up to £35 million ($47.6 million) if he played 10 matches for his new club, but those in charge quickly decided they did not want to lock themselves into such an expensive transfer.
