According to The Athletic, Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott is one of several attacking reinforcement options being considered by Valencia. Besides Valencia, Elliott has also attracted interest from Italian clubs.

Valencia is negotiating with Liverpool over a loan move for Harvey Elliott.

Elliott, 23, has been left out of Liverpool's squad for the first two Premier League matches of the new season. He was loaned to Aston Villa for the 2024-25 season, and his future remains uncertain.

Valencia have stated that Elliott is also one of several attacking reinforcement options they are considering. Besides Valencia, Elliott has also attracted interest from Italian clubs. Elliott's contract with Liverpool runs until 2028, and he has spoken with Valencia manager Carlos Corberan about what role he would play if he joined the Spanish club.

The Athletic reported in July that Elliott was one of Liverpool players who could leave before the end of the summer transfer window. Last season, he made just 9 appearances for Villa across all competitions, with only 3 as a starter.

Because Villa did not want to trigger a mandatory £35 million purchase clause, manager Unai Emery sidelined him. Elliott subsequently returned to Liverpool for preseason and trained under new manager Andoni Iraola, who replaced Arne Slot.

Elliott told reporters during Liverpool's US tour: "Last summer, I wanted a new challenge. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. I thought it would help me grow as a player again, but unfortunately it didn't work out. This is a second chance, especially with the new manager coming in. Hopefully I can make a good impression on him."

However, when asked on Thursday why Elliott was not included in Liverpool's squad for the match against Newcastle United, Iraola said: "For Harvey, I can only pick 20 players. The key is finding balance on the bench. In Harvey's position, he has worked hard and improved week by week, but I still prefer other options. I decided to bring James McConnell into the squad. This is a new week, everyone has a new opportunity, and they need to maintain that mentality."
