Harvey Elliott in action with Andoni Iraola left inset looking up
The La Liga side are searching for a way to bring the loan deal to a premature close, with the 23-year-old still yet to start a game for them.
There is a growing expectation that he will be sent back to Anfield in January, which sources say would effectively set him back to "square one."
Liverpool are understood to see no long-term future for Elliott on Merseyside, and would look to cash in ahead of his contract expiring in 2028.
The young midfielder has struggled to make any sort of impact for Valencia, playing just 152 minutes of La Liga action so far this season.
He is also currently serving a suspension after he was sent off for dissent in the dying embers of the recent defeat to Villarreal.
Pair of Valencia exits haven't helped Harvey Elliott
Elliott endured a hugely difficult loan spell with Aston Villa last term, and he is being faced by serious issues once again in 2026-27.
The English starlet was taken to Valencia by former West Brom manager Carlos Corberan, but he and ex-chief executive Ron Gourlay have since departed the club.
The managerial change has seen Javier Aguirre take the reins, but that has done little to change Elliott's situation.
With Valencia struggling in the relegation zone in La Liga, they are hoping to take Elliott off their wage bill this winter and send him back to Anfield.
However, the Reds have already made it clear that there is no way back for him at his parent club, given how far he is down the pecking order.
As a result, a permanent exit from Liverpool is the only option for the youngster if he is unable to turn his fortunes at Valencia around.
Lamine Camara to Liverpool gets go ahead
Football Insider revealed last weekend that Monaco are ready to sell midfielder Lamine Camara to Liverpool in the January transfer window.
The Reds are long-term admirers of the 22-year-old, who was left "disappointed" after being denied a last-minute move to Chelsea on deadline day in the summer.
However, sources say that Monaco still require a big-name sale this winter in order to balance their books, with Camara their primary candidate to be moved on.
That looks set to play right into Liverpool's hands, as the Senegal international is towards the top of their list of targets to bolster their midfield.
