Valencia enter talks with Reds for Elliot loan
- Published
Valencia are in talks with Liverpool to take midfielder Harvey Elliott on loan for the rest of the season.
The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Aston Villa but made only one Premier League start for them.
Valencia, who finished ninth in La Liga last season and did not qualify for Europe, have been working to find a financially viable way of making the loan deal work.
The Spanish club want Liverpool to cover half of the midfielder's wages.
Elliott featured regularly during Liverpool's pre-season under new head coach Andoni Iraola but has subsequently been left out of the club's first two Premier League squads.
As reported by BBC Sport earlier, the Reds have shown an interest in Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr after having two bids for Yankuba Minteh rejected by Brighton as they look to bolster their attacking options on top of the signing of Bradley Barcola.
