Valencia CF is interested in adding Mohamed Elyounoussi to their ranks to strengthen their attack. The ché team is seeking alternatives in the market after failing to secure the signing of Peter Federico and has now set its sights on the Norwegian forward currently playing for Copenhagen.
At 29 years old, Elyounoussi has had a notable career in Europe, having played for teams like Southampton and Celtic before shining once again in Scandinavia. Last season, with Copenhagen, the player showcased his quality by scoring 14 goals and providing 8 assists in 46 appearances, drawing attention from several clubs, including Valencia.
Despite the interest, Valencia's sporting director, Carmelo del Pozo, clarified in an interview with Tipsbladet that the club has not yet made a formal offer for Elyounoussi.
Mohamed Elyounoussi, Valencia's New Target
Valencia's intention would be to acquire Elyounoussi on loan with a purchase option, a formula the club has used in other negotiations. However, Copenhagen does not appear willing to let go of their star striker easily, pointing to the player's release clause as the most direct route for his departure.
To date, Valencia has signed Stole Dimitrievski from Rayo Vallecano on a free transfer and brought in Rafa Mir on loan from Sevilla. Additionally, Samu Castillejo has returned from his loan spell at Sassuolo, although it is expected that he will leave the club again. With few offensive options available, Elyounoussi emerges as an appealing solution to boost the team's attack under the guidance of Rubén Baraja.
