MLS side Charlotte FC are willing to offer Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott an escape route from his season limbo.
The 22-year-old is on loan at Aston Villa but has been frozen out by Unai Emery and looks unlikely to figure. Villa could curtail his loan, but he is not part of Liverpool manager Arne Slot's plans either, hence no recall clause being placed in his deal.
Having played twice for Liverpool, and made five appearances for Villa, Elliott cannot appear for another team this season in European leagues. However, he would be allowed to play in the MLS which has alerted clubs there.
Daily Mail Sport understands it is Charlotte who have secured the discovery rights for the England U21 international and they are willing to offer Elliott a platform so that he can get back to playing rather than potentially spending the rest of the season sat in the stands.
Coach Dean Smith, the former Aston Villa manager, and Charlotte general manager Zoran Krneta have strong connections in the UK and that is believed to have helped put them in pole position.
They understand Elliott would prefer to play in the Premier League but they hope, with the World Cup coming to USA this summer, that he would be attracted to the chance to play there every week and recognise that he would still be in the spotlight as his arrival would generate plenty of excitement.
Much depends now on talks with Aston Villa and Liverpool to see if there is a chance of a solution over his playing time.
If not, Elliott may yet view Charlotte's offer as his best short-term fix before taking stock in the summer.

Slot should be professional in Elliot's issue and bring him back immediately and also use him or leave Liverpool for us

From Men football to boys soccer. From grace to grass. Ask Riqui Puig, he moved from Barcelona to LA Galaxy, that was the last we heard of him.

You're kidding right? MLS? Rui Puig left from Barcelona to LA Galaxy, that was the last we heard of him. Soccer is the death of any professional player.

Elliott is too young to go to a league like the MLS, where it isn’t his level. I truly believe he should go to the Bundesliga 🇩🇪, for Leverkusen or a club like that. Second option: Serie A 🇮🇹 for Atalanta or Bologna. I feel like that would revive Elliott’s career. Arne Slot won’t take a damn chance to play him more like Jurgen Klopp.
