Liverpool have negotiated both a buy-back option and a sell-on provision as part of the permanent transfer that took Harvey Elliott to Aston Villa. The inclusion of those clauses means Liverpool retain a route to re-sign the midfielder and would receive a percentage of any future profit should Villa sell him.<\/p>\n
Reports differ over the agreed fee. The Athletic says Liverpool sources quoted a tag of \u00a335 million while Villa figures are reported closer to \u00a330 million. The move was delayed to ensure Aston Villa did not breach any financial regulations while final details were settled.<\/p>\n
Paul Joyce of The Times is the outlet credited with revealing the buy-back clause. No figure for that clause has been published. The agreement will also reportedly contain a sell-on clause that entitles Liverpool to a slice of the fee Villa secure if Elliott is moved on at a later date.<\/p>\n
The U21 European champion penned an emotional farewell message on Instagram in the aftermath of his exit. “When I joined Liverpool in 2019 it was a dream come true for me and my family,” he wrote. “As a young child I travelled the world supporting the team as a fan and words will never be able to explain the feeling I had when I pulled on that famous red shirt for the first time as a player.<\/p>\n
“Over the course of the last six years I\u2019ve experienced so much and grown from a young 16-year-old boy into a man during my time at the club. Growing up I could never have imagined that I\u2019d go on to play 150 games for my boyhood team, winning seven major trophies and culminating in being part of the squad to have won the Premier League last season with such a special group.<\/p>\n
“Thank you to everybody at the club for welcoming me from the very first day I arrived and for looking after me ever since. Thank you to the board and J\u00fcrgen Klopp for helping me live my dream of becoming a Liverpool player. To Arne Slot, all of the coaches and staff who have helped me along the way and of course my teammates. It\u2019s been a privilege to play with you all and I feel lucky to have made so many lifelong friends along the way.<\/p>\n
“To the incredible Liverpool fans. Thank you for making me one of your own and for always supporting me through both good and tough times. I\u2019ll always cherish the bond we have together. I will always have Liverpool in my heart.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
