There remains a significant possibility of Harvey Elliott departing Liverpool before the summer transfer window closes. Currently back at Anfield, following a challenging loan at Aston Villa last season, Elliott's future might soon take another turn as AC Milan escalates their interest.

The Rossoneri are actively seeking to bolster their attacking midfield, previously considering Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri, who is now likely to remain in the Premier League on loan. Milan has kept a close watch on Elliott's situation, with sources indicating that this interest could soon evolve into serious negotiations as the transfer deadline approaches.

Despite minimal movement regarding Elliott's status this summer, insiders suggest that his remaining at Liverpool has always appeared unlikely. Originally seen as a promising talent when he joined the Reds in 2019, his trajectory hasn't followed anticipated lines, prompting the need for a fresh start.

Milan views Elliott as a valuable asset, fitting well into their tactical framework. An insider stated:

• “Elliott is one of the standout profiles on Milan’s list.”
• “Milan wants to inject fresh energy into their attack without disrupting the overall squad structure.”

If a deal materializes, Elliott's versatility—able to play both on the right wing and centrally—would provide Milan with crucial tactical flexibility.

Liverpool, however, is firm on their asking price. Although Elliott's value has seen a dip, they are unwilling to sell cheaply, aiming for a fee around €35 million, while Milan estimates his worth closer to €20-25 million. Negotiations have yet to commence, but discussions are anticipated soon. Elliott has expressed willingness to compete for his place at Liverpool, yet the sentiment remains that under new manager Andoni Iraola, his chances may be limited. Should a compelling offer arise, Elliott appears open to a move, with Milan currently positioned as the frontrunner, despite historical interest from RB Leipzig.
