Braulio Vázquez is working towards the upcoming transfer market of Valencia to strengthen their frontline in January 2027. The sports director wants to address the needs of Javier Aguirre, who is facing serious difficulties in getting goals from his attackers due to the injury of Umar Sadiq and the goal drought of Hugo Duro.

The sports management is considering two alternatives: signing a player who is currently without a contract or negotiating a six-month loan until the end of the season. The goal is to enhance Aguirre's offensive options without committing a significant amount in a transfer.

Braulio Vázquez seeks solutions to Valencia's lack of goals

Braulio Vázquez deems it necessary to intervene in the offensive planning after the first eight matchdays of LaLiga. The issues with the forwards have affected the team, especially due to the lack of shots and the absence of one of their main attackers.

The situation of Hugo Duro is particularly concerning. The 26-year-old forward is yet to score this season, and according to data from the initial eight matchdays, he has not registered a shot on target either.

His contribution in pressing and defensive work remains significant, but these roles are not being accompanied by goal-scoring opportunities. In fact, the striker has not scored since last May, a circumstance that obliges Aguirre to seek solutions.

The latest match against Racing de Santander, which ended 2-2, once again highlighted these difficulties. Duro had a chance to score in the final minutes but failed to convert, resulting in the team only securing a single point.

The injury of Umar Sadiq complicates Javier Aguirre's plans

Valencia's other problem is related to Umar Sadiq. The Nigerian forward scored against Deportivo de La Coruña on matchday three but sustained a muscle injury that has kept him out of action.

The club's medical report confirmed an injury to the right hamstring region. Since then, Sadiq has missed five consecutive matches, leaving the team without one of their main attacking references. Braulio Vázquez wants to shake up Valencia's market for solutions .

Forecasts suggest a potential return in early November, although a definitive date is still pending. The player is awaiting a further medical evaluation to determine when he can rejoin training with his teammates.

The absence of the Nigerian has compelled Javier Aguirre to seek alternatives among the available players, yet a solution guaranteeing continuity in the attack is still elusive.

Braulio Vázquez is preparing for the January market

The return of Braulio Vázquez to Mestalla, officially announced on September 13, aimed to reorganize the sports planning. The sports director is already working on potential reinforcements for January, although the addition of a center-back is also a priority.

The search for a forward is being considered through low-cost operations. Turning to the free-agent market could lead to signing a player before January, while a six-month loan would provide a solution until June.

No specific names or negotiations with other clubs have been disclosed yet. Braulio Vázquez will need to decide in the coming weeks whether to accelerate the signing of an attacker or wait to assess the recovery of Umar Sadiq and the goal-scoring performance of Hugo Duro.
