Hugo Duro, a 26-year-old forward, is in the spotlight for the latest news about Valencia CF as he could leave Mestalla in the summer transfer market of 2027 if an offer of between 6 and 8 million euros arrives. Braulio Vázquez is considering possible changes in the squad, and the forward is among the players whose continuity could be reviewed due to his lack of goals and loss of prominence with Javier Aguirre.

The forward is going through one of his most challenging moments since arriving at the club in 2021. This season, he has accumulated 10 LaLiga matches, 415 minutes, no goals, and one assist, numbers that contrast with his scoring records from previous seasons.

Hugo Duro loses prominence with Javier Aguirre

The situation of Hugo Duro has changed in recent weeks. Although Javier Aguirre initially relied on him as an offensive reference, his minutes have decreased to the point of not participating in the victory against Elche on November 1.

The forward was a starter against Racing de Santander, playing the 90 minutes, but later played 54 minutes against Athletic Club and only 13 against Villarreal. This evolution reflects his diminishing influence in the coach's decisions. Mestalla points and boos the 'culprit'.

The main issue lies in his offensive production. After scoring 13 goals in LaLiga during the 2023/24 season, Duro scored 11 in 2024/25 and 10 in 2025/26. However, he still has not scored in the current campaign.

The return of Umar Sadiq also increases competition in the forward line. The Nigerian is again available for Aguirre, who will have more options to choose his starting forward in the upcoming matches.

Braulio Vázquez could accept an offer of 6-8 million

The sporting direction of Valencia CF needs to study possible departures before bringing in new players. Braulio Vázquez wants to reorganize several positions, and Duro's future could be part of that planning.

A proposal of between 6 and 8 million euros could open the door to negotiations next summer. However, so far, there is no formal offer or discussions with other teams regarding his transfer.

The forward is under contract until June 30, 2028, after renewing in July 2024. His market value is estimated at 12 million euros, according to the latest update from Transfermarkt, although a possible sale would depend on the offers received and the club's decision.

Valencia CF will have to decide the future of its attack

The continuity of Hugo Duro will particularly depend on his performance over the next few months. He still has a good portion of the season to regain prominence and improve his scoring figures.

Meanwhile, Braulio Vázquez will need to assess the offensive needs of the team alongside Javier Aguirre. If Duro cannot reverse his situation, Valencia CF could consider his departure for 6-8 million when the summer transfer market opens in 2027, as long as a buyer willing to meet those amounts appears.
