Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott’s future at Anfield has been thrown into fresh doubt, with Serie A sides Napoli and Lazio reportedly keeping a close eye on his situation ahead of the transfer deadline.
The 23-year-old returned to Liverpool following an underwhelming loan spell at Aston Villa, where opportunities for regular Premier League football were limited. His situation became even more uncertain after new boss Andoni Iraola omitted him from the squad for Liverpool’s opening league fixture against Newcastle.
Reports suggest Liverpool are prepared to consider offers for Elliott, although no formal bid had been submitted at the time of publication. The Reds are also believed to be willing to listen to proposals for Federico Chiesa.
For Elliott, regular playing time is becoming increasingly important. With another season on the sidelines potentially slowing his development, a move to Italy could provide the midfielder with a fresh start and the chance to play a more prominent role.
Napoli and Lazio have consequently emerged as potential destinations, with both clubs capable of offering Elliott a new challenge and greater responsibility.
However, Liverpool are unlikely to let him leave on the cheap. Despite his recent lack of minutes, Elliott remains a highly talented midfielder capable of creating chances, operating between the lines and playing either as an attacking midfielder or on the right flank.
For now, Elliott’s future remains unresolved. He could still leave Liverpool before the transfer deadline, with Napoli and Lazio reportedly interested, but the Reds have yet to receive an official offer.
