Daijiro Chirino has become the priority in this Valencia CF transfer market to strengthen the right-back position after the deal for Thomas Meunier fell through and the club also lost the race for Andrés García, who will head to Getafe. The sports management is already working on new alternatives, although the initial approach for the Almería player did not yield the expected results.

The Curaçao-Dutch defender, 24 years old, has had a great season with Almería and his development has not gone unnoticed. His ability to play both as a right-back and a center-back makes him a very attractive option for Carlos Corberán, who aims to increase competition in one of the squad's most needed positions.

Daijiro Chirino raises Almería's demands

Valencia CF has already made a move for Daijiro Chirino. As reported by Eldesmarque, Valencia presented an initial offer of 6 million euros, an amount that was rejected by Almería, which considers the proposal insufficient.

The Andalusian club values him closer to 15 million euros, a figure that Valencia considers out of reach for a player who, despite having great potential, still needs to establish himself in the elite of Spanish football.

Furthermore, the red and white team has the upper hand in negotiations. Chirino is under contract until June 30, 2030, so Almería has no urgency to sell during this summer transfer window.

A Profile That Convinces Carlos Corberán

Despite the financial challenges, the name of Daijiro Chirino remains highly regarded within Valencia's sports management. His defensive versatility allows him to be used in a back-four formation as well as systems with wing-backs, in addition to providing good ball distribution and physical prowess.

Developed in the youth ranks of PEC Zwolle, the player made the leap to Spanish football after his stint in the Netherlands. He first wore the Castellón jersey before finding stability at Almería, where he has fully realized his potential.

His youth and room for growth make the deal a long-term investment, though the high cost remains the main obstacle to reaching an agreement.

Valencia CF Already Studying an Alternative

While discussions with Daijiro Chirino continue, Valencia CF does not want to be left without options and is already exploring other choices to strengthen the right side of the defense.

The main alternative candidate is Kingsley Ehizibue, a Dutch full-back with Nigerian nationality who has just finished his contract with Udinese and would arrive on a free transfer.

The 1.89 meters tall defender stands out for his physicality and ability to play as a full-back, wing-back, and even as a right winger. Additionally, he has experience in some of the continent's most demanding leagues.

Thomas Meunier Forces a Change of Plans

The sports planning suffered a setback when Thomas Meunier ultimately decided not to join Valencia's project. The Belgian international was a top choice to reinforce the defense, but the deal ended up falling through.

Shortly after, the club also failed to finalize the signing of Andrés García in time, who will head to Getafe. These two developments prompted an accelerated search for a new right-back.

In this context, the name of Daijiro Chirino emerged, a player whose progression had been monitored for months by the club's sports management.

The Market Remains Open for Valencia CF

Negotiations are expected to continue over the coming weeks. Valencia CF believes that 15 million euros is an unaffordable amount and will try to find ways to reduce the deal's cost, or else will focus all efforts on other alternatives.

Meanwhile, Almería maintains a position of strength due to the player's long contract and the confidence in his sporting development. It seems unlikely that significant discounts will be granted unless an unexpected change occurs in negotiations.

In the meantime, the sports management continues working to provide Carlos Corberán with a reliable full-back before the transfer window closes. If positions converge, Daijiro Chirino will remain the top choice to strengthen Valencia CF. Otherwise, Valencia will definitively pursue the option of Kingsley Ehizibue to cover one of the squad's priority positions.
