César Tárrega, a 24-year-old center-back, could become the big sale of this Valencia CF transfer market, as he has received a call from Inter Milan to inquire about his conditions and contractual situation during this summer transfer window. The contact has not yet resulted in an offer to the Valencia club, with which he is under contract until June 2030.
The first approach has been made directly with the player's entourage. Inter wanted to know what possibilities there would be to negotiate a hypothetical transfer and what Tárrega's disposition would be if the Italian interest materializes into a formal proposal.
The player will not make a decision without first hearing Valencia's stance. Valencia has not received any communication from the Italian side, therefore there is no ongoing negotiation or transfer fee on the table.
Inter Milan Explores Signing César Tárrega
Inter Milan is looking to bring in a young center-back after progressing in the acquisition of John Stones, who became a free agent after his contract with Manchester City expired. The English defender is 32 years old, while Tárrega would fit into a medium-term operation aimed at strengthening the defense.
The Italian club is currently focused on finalizing the deal with Stones. His arrival would bring the number of center-backs in the squad to five, although the club does not count on Benjamin Pavard following his return from loan at Olympique de Marseille.
A departure in defense could trigger the option for César Tárrega. Inter would then need to prepare an offer to start discussions with Valencia, which retains control of the operation due to the renewal signed in August 2025.
The center-back extended his contract for five seasons, until June 30, 2030, after establishing himself in the first team. During the last LaLiga campaign, he played 28 matches, started in 25, and accumulated 2,239 minutes.
Valencia CF Would Need to Sign Another Center-Back
A potential sale would force Valencia CF to adjust its planning. Currently, Carlos Corberán has four center-backs: Tárrega, Justin de Haas, Mouctar Diakhaby, and José Copete, who is still recovering from an injury suffered last season.
The squad has already seen two departures in that position. Eray Cömert's contract ended on June 30, and he signed with Torino, while Cenk Özkacar was transferred to Trabzonspor. De Haas was brought in to cover one of these vacancies.
Tárrega's exit would reduce the available options and compel Valencia to seek a defender capable of immediately entering the rotation. The club had not planned on making another addition in the central defense during this transfer window.
The next move depends on Inter. The Italian entity must complete the Stones deal, address any outgoing transfers, and decide whether to formalize the initial inquiry. Until then, César Tárrega will continue to work as one of Valencia's key center-backs as they prepare for the start of LaLiga.
