Eljif Elmas Transfer from RB Leipzig to Valencia
Eljif Elmas had given the green light to Valencia's offer, and RB Leipzig was willing to loan him. However, Elmas decided to halt the operation due to Valencia's difficult sporting situation, preferring the stability of Torino in Serie A.
Marca reports on the transfer saga involving Elmas, who was close to joining Valencia before choosing Torino. Valencia had nearly secured a loan deal for Elmas from Leipzig to strengthen their attacking options. The deal was in advanced stages, with the club preparing to make space for him on their roster. However, Elmas ultimately decided against joining Valencia, opting to return to Italy with Torino instead.
Eljif Elmas is set to join Valencia on loan from RB Leipzig until June 2025. The agreement does not include a purchase option. Valencia is interested in his technical quality and versatility, and expects him to bring dynamism and depth to the team. Elmas is expected to travel to Valencia in the coming days to finalize his move and join the training sessions under Rubén Baraja.
Marca has reported on the potential loan transfer of Eljif Elmas to Valencia, stating that Valencia is in the process of finalizing his arrival on a loan deal until the end of the season. Although an agreement is in place, some details still need to be worked out with RB Leipzig, the player's current club. Elmas, a North Macedonian attacking midfielder, is reportedly not in the plans of RB Leipzig's coach Marco Rose, despite the club having spent nearly 24 million euros to sign him from Napoli last winter. Valencia's coach Carlos Corberán considers Elmas a potentially great addition to play behind the striker in a 1-4-2-3-1 system.
Marca reported that Valencia was making efforts to secure Eljif Elmas on loan from Leipzig. It was noted that Valencia was accelerating negotiations with Leipzig to finalize the loan of Eljif Elmas. The Macedonian midfielder was not favored by Leipzig's coach, Marco Rose, and was seeking more playtime. Valencia had been in discussions with Elmas' agent for several weeks, seeing Elmas as a suitable candidate both sportingly and economically. However, it was necessary for Valencia to free up a loan slot by ending the loan of one of their current players, Maximiliano Caufriez, to comply with FIFA regulations.
Valencia has agreed on a loan deal with RB Leipzig for Eljif Elmas. However, the player is still considering the offer, making Jesús Fernández, ‘Suso’, the second option for Valencia.
Eljif Elmas is reportedly experiencing dissatisfaction at RB Leipzig due to insufficient playtime under coach Marco Rose. After transferring from Napoli to Leipzig a year ago for 24 million euros, his situation has not improved, resulting in a significant decline in his market value to 12 million euros. Although his contract extends until summer 2028, he is contemplating a move in the winter. BILD has reported that Valencia is a serious contender for a potential loan deal. Furthermore, the article indicates that FC Turin is also interested in a loan move for Elmas, and both Rose and RB Leipzig would not hinder his departure. Elmas has only made 6 brief appearances this season, which has further fueled his desire for a transfer.
