MLS side Charlotte FC hold an interest in signing Harvey Elliott, who is currently on loan at Aston Villa from Liverpool, but the midfielder is undecided on his future. Liverpool have no option to recall the 22-year-old, but Villa are evaluating options for ending the agreement. Villa would have to pay to terminate the loan, so if he is to return to Merseyside, it would not necessarily be straightforward. Charlotte, who are coached by former Villa manager Dean Smith, hold an interest in a loan move for Elliott, who cannot play for another European club this season due to having already represented Liverpool and Villa in 2025-26.
