'It blocks the path for me' - Harvey Elliott admits new Liverpool arrivals could force him into summer transfer exit as midfielder targets England spot at 2026 World Cup

Club Friendlies

Liverpool

AC Milan

<p>Elliott started just two Premier League games last season, and in June, he admitted he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wasting-years-harvey-elliot-opens-door-liverpool-exit-bemoans-lack-minutes-arne-slot/bltecef299a1f9428e0" target="_blank">doesn't want to be "wasting years" at the club</a>. Following the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-get-their-man-reds-complete-gbp116m-deal-to-sign-florian-wirtz-from-bayer-leverkusen-as-germany-international-signs-long-term-deal-at-anfield/blt0d435719e6a90e7e" target="_blank">£116 million ($156m) summer arrival of Florian Wirtz</a>, the attacking midfielder may struggle even more for game time next term. And with the 22-year-old targeting a 2026 World Cup spot, an Anfield departure could be in the offing.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://x.com/TheAnfieldWrap/status/1948335138624221525" target="_blank"><em>the Anfield Wrap</em></a>: "If I had it my way, I would be here for the rest of my career, it's as simple as that. I love everything about the club, but at the same time, I kind of need to be selfish and see what's best for me. I have big ambitions. I want to get in the World Cup squad. I want to keep being successful as a player. It's something I still need to review. I need to have a talk with everyone and review the situation. We have many new players who have come in, so whether it blocks the path for me, I'm not sure. It's something I need to have a look at and decide."</p>

WHAT ELLIOTT SAID

<p>Liverpool romped to the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-tottenham-party-alexis-mac-allister-mohamed-salah-premier-league-title/bltfc91b236fda08fd4" target="_blank">Premier League title last season</a> and have strengthened in the transfer market ahead of the 2025-26 campaign to the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/completed-liverpool-transfers-2025-26/blt7ff9bb8ea758b66a#csd4956ce5ce3a1923" target="_blank">tune of nearly £300m</a>. As Arne Slot's team prepare to defend their title, some fringe players may be moved on, and as Elliott is a homegrown player, his sale would go down as pure profit on the balance sheet. The youngster has a big decision to make in the coming weeks on his future.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Liverpool play AC Milan, Yokohama FC, Athletic Club and Crystal Palace in the run-up to the new Premier League season. Elliott may just have a matter of weeks to convince Slot he has what it takes to earn a bigger role in the team next term.</p>
