Charlotte FC Prepare Loan Offer For Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott

MLS Side Ready to Provide Escape Route from Aston Villa Nightmare.

Charlotte FC are preparing a surprise loan offer for Harvey Elliott that would see the Liverpool midfielder join Major League Soccer until June 2026, Sportblits.com understands.

The 22-year-old England U21 international has endured a frustrating loan spell at Aston Villa, making just five appearances and none since October. Villa are unwilling to trigger the £35m obligation-to-buy clause (activated at 10 appearances), meaning Elliott is expected to return to Anfield first.

However, FIFA regulations prevent another loan to a European club this season (having already featured for Liverpool and Villa). This opens the door for non-European moves – with Charlotte, managed by former Villa boss Dean Smith, emerging as a concrete option.

Sources indicate the ambitious MLS club view Elliott as a marquee signing ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup (co-hosted in the USA), where increased global spotlight will shine on the league.

The decision ultimately rests with Elliott and Liverpool, who prioritise regular minutes for his development and senior England ambitions.

A bold cross-Atlantic opportunity – could this be the fresh start the talented attacker needs?
