Headline: Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott Set to Join Valencia on Loan
Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott is poised to join Valencia on loan for the remainder of the season. The 23-year-old player spent last season with Aston Villa but only made one Premier League start during his time there.
Valencia, which finished ninth in La Liga last season and did not secure a place in European competition, has been exploring financially viable options to finalize the loan arrangement. Elliott has yet to complete a medical examination at Valencia. As the La Liga transfer window is set to close on Tuesday at 23:00 BST, time is of the essence.
The Spanish club has requested that Liverpool cover half of Elliott’s wages, although the specific terms of the wage split remain uncertain. Reports indicate that there is no option or obligation for Valencia to purchase Elliott as part of the loan agreement.
Elliott participated frequently in Liverpool’s pre-season under new head coach Andoni Iraola but has been excluded from the squad for the first two matches of the Premier League season. The former England Under-21 international signed a contract with Liverpool that runs until 2028.
Elliott joined Liverpool from Fulham at the age of 16 in 2019 and had a loan spell at Blackburn Rovers during the 2020-21 season. In another transfer news, Liverpool defensive midfielder Stefan Bajcetic has secured a permanent move to his boyhood club, Celta Vigo.
