La Liga
The new direction taken by Valencia in its sports planning is beginning to put important names on the exit ramp. With the arrival of Carlos Corberán to the dugout, the club has reconsidered the profile of midfielders it needs, opening the door to offers for André Almeida and Pepelu, two players who until recently seemed untouchable.
The arrival of Baptiste Santamaría and Filip Ugrinic marks a turning point in Valencia's midfield. Both players are already in the city, ready to integrate into the team's dynamics, and have been chosen for better meeting Corberán's demands: physical power, constant deployment, and verticality. These characteristics were not fully seen in Pepelu or Almeida, so their future is now uncertain.
Valencia will listen to offers for André Almeida and Pepelu
From the sports management, it is considered that Javi Guerra will be one of the key players in the new midfield project, and with the additions of Santamaría and Ugrinic, the club feels it has covered the most urgent needs in that area of the field. In this context, the entity is seriously considering selling one — or even both — of the mentioned midfielders, depending on the interest that arises from other clubs.
Although no official price has been set for either player, Valencia's willingness to negotiate is clear. So far, no firm offers have been disclosed, but everything indicates that moves will be made soon. The coming weeks will be crucial to define the final configuration of the midfield, in a squad that is still under reconstruction.
With a well-defined tactical idea and a firm intention to renew energies at Mestalla, the club is ready to make decisions that, although they may be unpopular, align with a more ambitious football vision.
