Harvey Elliott is reportedly very close to joining Valencia on loan after agreeing personal terms with the Spanish club. Liverpool and Valencia are now negotiating the final details of the deal.
The 23-year-old midfielder has struggled to establish himself under new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola. He was left out of Liverpool’s squad for the opening Premier League match against Newcastle, with competition for attacking midfield places making regular playing time difficult.
Valencia are looking to bring Elliott in on a season-long loan, reportedly without a purchase option. However, his salary is considered a potential obstacle, with Liverpool potentially needing to cover part of his wages.
Elliott previously spent time on loan at Aston Villa, but the move did not work out as planned. He made only four Premier League appearances there, so another loan could give him the regular football he needs to rebuild his confidence and form.
In short: Elliott appears to be heading toward Valencia, and this could be an important opportunity for him to get consistent first-team football and revive his career.
