Javi Guerra, a 23-year-old midfielder from Valencia CF, remains on the FC Barcelona's signing agenda after contacts made during the last summer transfer window. Deco even met with his agents to understand the terms of a possible deal, but Barcelona did not make a move before his release clause increased from 40 to 60 million euros on August 1.

The player will face the Blaugrana team in LaLiga this Sunday, with the transfer window already closed and after deciding to stay at Mestalla. Guerra is under contract with Valencia until June 30, 2029, following a renewal in August 2025.

Javi Guerra was in FC Barcelona's plans

Barcelona's interest didn't start this summer. FC Barcelona had already inquired about Javi Guerra's situation in 2024 when the midfielder was beginning to establish himself as one of Valencia's most valuable assets.

The interest was reignited in June 2026. Deco met with the player's representatives to explore the terms of a possible transfer and understand Valencia's stance. At that time, his release clause was set at 40 million euros, compelling Barça to decide before August if they wanted to proceed.

There was no negotiation leading to an accepted offer. Barcelona's sports management had other midfield priorities and ended up signing Rodri during a window where the club invested around 175 million euros to bolster the squad.

This move diminished Guerra's chances. Barcelona had considered his signing as a market opportunity, but the arrival of the former Manchester City midfielder fulfilled a significant part of their anticipated needs for that position.

Valencia CF protects Guerra with a 60 million clause

Valencia CF also fortified their contractual position before these developments. Guerra renewed in August 2025 for four seasons until June of 2029, having already accumulated 89 official appearances with the first team.

The new contract included a variable clause depending on the market timing. Until July 31, 2026, any club could trigger it by paying 40 million euros. From August 1, that amount rose to 60 million.

During the preseason, Guerra clearly expressed his desire to stay at Mestalla. He emphasized that he had just extended his contract, showing his intention to remain, although acknowledging that any scenario could unfold while the market was still open.

Atletico Madrid also came close to signing him in 2024, with a preliminary agreement with Valencia before the Rojiblanco opted for Conor Gallagher.

With the window now shut, the next chapter for Javi Guerra will be on the field. The midfielder will continue as a piece of Valencia CF in LaLiga, while FC Barcelona keeps his name in Deco's reports for the future. Should the interest evolve into a deal again, the starting point will be a 60 million euro clause and a contract valid until 2029.
