Valencia eyes Harvey Elliott transfer if Leeds United deal fails

Liverpool is reconfiguring its forward options, including the acquisition of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee up to £123 million and the potential sale of Cody Gakpo to Manchester City. As the transfer window approaches its conclusion, Liverpool is also exploring exits for Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott to manage squad depth and finances. Valencia has identified Elliott as a potential addition to its roster but currently prioritizes signing Largie Ramazani from Leeds United. Because Valencia prefers a loan for Elliott rather than a permanent transfer, the decision rests on whether Leeds United reaches an agreement with the Spanish club regarding Ramazani. If those talks fail, Valencia may pivot to pursue Elliott as a backup recruitment option. Liverpool is reportedly unwilling to accept a loan deal for the 23-year-old Elliott, who enters the final year of his contract.
