In joy with new contracts, Liverpool is still there and hard to think when it comes to a star who is shining brightly but is questioned about the future at the club.
That person is none other than Harvey Elliott – the star of U21 U21 in the U21 European Cup is taking place in Slovakia. In the semi -final against the Netherlands U21, the 22 -year -old midfielder made a double to help “young lions” win tickets to play the final against U21 Germany on June 29.
Notably, Elliott impressed with the spectacular solo phase from the middle of the pitch, surpassing a series of Austrian players before finishing from the edge of the penalty area, setting the final victory 2-1 for U21 British. Thanks to the wonderful shine of Elliott, the army of coach Lee Carsley is in the morning of the throne successfully defending the throne.
However, at the club level, Elliott's position is much less firm. The fact that Florian Wirtz docked Anfield with a record price of 116 million pounds made the competition in the middle line fierce, especially for a player with only twice in the Premier League last season. It is worth mentioning that both matches took place after Liverpool officially won the championship under coach Arne Slot.
However, the explosive performance in the U21 shirt he reminded everything about Elliott's true level, and he himself once frankly shared in the early stages of the tournament that “do not want to waste the years of career just to sit on the bench”. However, Elliott's future in Liverpool is still very obscure.
When the U21 European finals lower, an important decision related to Elliott's accommodation or accommodation is almost inevitable. Will this player choose to stay and fight to win the main kick next season? Or will the presence of Wirtz make you lose your place in the squad?
A full season, not interrupted after the U21 finals will be very important to Elliott, and this is an opportunity for him to impress coach Slot. However, the final decision is still in the hands of a 22 -year -old player.
On the club side, Liverpool will most likely not proactively push Elliott. Slot may also have learned many lessons on how to use the depth of the team more effectively for the new season, and that can bring more opportunities for names like Elliott.
However, Elliott's profound statement about “not wanting to waste a career on the bench” is really a wake -up scene, and Liverpool's breaking the transfer record because Wirtz can make this player seriously think about his position and future at Anfield.
If Elliott really asks to leave, there will certainly be many large and small clubs ready to spread red carpet to get his signature. But with Liverpool, farewell to Elliott will definitely be a very difficult decision, even cruelly and bring many regrets.
Temporarily, Elliott's mind is focusing on the European U21 final, but obviously, a big turning point in his career is waiting for him this summer – whether choosing to stay or break up.
