Valencia want to sign Harvey Elliott on loan after the Liverpool attacking midfielder was overlooked for the start of the Premier League season.
The Spanish side have expressed an interest in taking Elliott on a temporary move for the remainder of the campaign, with Serie A teams Napoli and Lazio also considering an official approach.
Elliott was left out of the Liverpool squad for the season opener at Newcastle United last weekend with head coach Andoni Iraola explaining he preferred other options on the bench.
Now it appears increasingly likely the 23-year-old will spend the term away from Anfield for the second successive year following a miserable loan spell at Aston Villa last campaign.
Elliott moved to Villa in a deal that saw the Midlands side obliged to make the switch permanent for £35million should the player feature in a certain number of matches.
From early on, though, it became clear Villa boss Unai Emery didn't want to keep the former England under-21 international who, having played for Liverpool in the opening weeks of the season, was unable to move to another club despite being largely sidelined.
However, that option remains open this season with Elliott missing out for Liverpool last weekend and expected to once again not make the matchday squad for Saturday's visit of Nottingham Forest.
