'Talks will be held' to pack player back off to Liverpool in January window

Valencia considering ending Harvey Elliott's loan spell early and recalling him to Liverpool in January due to fitness and professionalism concerns.

Valencia are exploring the possibility of terminating Harvey Elliott's loan deal with Liverpool in the January transfer window, according to Las Provincias. The Spanish club made the decision to cut the spell short after a frustrating few months for both parties.

Elliott, who arrived at Valencia in the summer, has struggled significantly. He has made only six La Liga appearances totalling 152 minutes and has yet to start a match. Issues with excess weight and a lack of professionalism have been cited as concerns, and he was sent off against Villarreal. Valencia's new sporting director Braulio Vázquez is reviewing the situation.

If Elliott's performances do not improve in the coming weeks, Valencia will hold talks with Liverpool about terminating the loan agreement and sending him back to Anfield. The club believes the wages could be better allocated elsewhere to address other squad needs.
