Elliott nears Valencia: loan agreed, medical imminent

Harvey Elliott is very close to becoming a Valencia player. As reported by Mateo Moretto (MARCA), the deal is already agreed between the parties and the clubs are currently exchanging the paperwork needed to formalise the move.

Loan ready to be signed

The understanding is that the Englishman will play for Valencia until June 2027, without a buy option. Per the same source, if nothing changes at the last minute, Elliott is expected to travel “in the coming hours” to undergo a medical check before the club makes the incorporation official.

Why Corberán wanted him

Elliott arrives to strengthen the squad’s attacking options under Carlos Corberán. MARCA says the coach had been in talks with the player to convince him to move to LaLiga despite Valencia’s difficult start, where they had only collected one point in their first three games.

The idea, again as framed by MARCA, is to add more threat between the lines and more goal-scoring alternatives—something Elliott fits thanks to his technical quality and ability to operate across multiple forward positions.

Now 23 years old, Elliott came through Fulham’s youth system before being signed by Liverpool in 2019. With the Reds he has played roles including number 10, inside midfielder and right-sided winger, but competition for minutes and the need for more playing time pushed him towards a temporary move.

With the agreement virtually in place, the final hurdle is the medical, which should come before Valencia’s official announcement if all goes smoothly.
