Elliott said bluntly: Desire to appear, refuse to waste his career

Turning Net, June 9th, Liverpool midfielder Elliott faced his future direction in an interview and clearly stated that he did not want to "waste" his career and was facing a key choice.

The past 2024-2025 seasons, for the 22-year-old Elliott, there were few opportunities to play. He only got 18 appearances in the Premier League, with only 2 starts. Such a low appearance rate forced him to carefully think about his career plan. When talking about whether he would leave his beloved Liverpool, Elliott admitted: "I need to discuss in depth with the team. I am 22 years old and 23 years old. The golden period of my career is precious and I don't want to waste it. I want to reflect on the current situation, evaluate whether I am satisfied, and think about how to make progress. This is the key. If staying in the team cannot meet the development needs, changing the environment may also be a necessary choice. Everything depends on the subsequent situation." He also emphasized that he loves Liverpool deeply and loves fans and teammates here, but career choices must be based on his own development as the primary consideration.

Looking back on last season, Elliott also had highlights. In Liverpool's first leg of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain, the team faced tremendous pressure at the Princes Park. In the 86th minute, Elliott made a substitute and scored the winning goal in just 47 seconds, helping the team win 1-0. Originally, he thought this game would become a turning point in the season and usher in more opportunities to play, especially in the Premier League events a few days later, but this is not the case. Although Elliot was disappointed, he also understood the coach's decision: "The coach controls the overall situation and is a key figure in leading us to win the league. The decisions he makes must be considered. After returning from injury, it is difficult to fight for the chance to play, and this is football." At present, it is unknown where Elliot will go, and his future with Liverpool is full of variables.
