La Liga
Valencia CF is on the verge of finalizing the signing of Iván Azón, current forward for Como 1907. Valencia and the Italian club have made significant progress in recent hours to finalize a loan deal that would bolster an attacking line that has been greatly weakened after the departures of Rafa Mir and Umar Sadiq.
Discussions between both parties are well advanced. As reported by Marca, Valencia would take on the full salary of the 22-year-old Aragonese forward, who had previously been close to joining Valencia a few months ago while still with Real Zaragoza. However, Como managed to secure his services by paying two million euros last February, extending his contract until 2029.
Prioritizing a move to Valencia
During pre-season, Azón impressed with Como, even scoring two goals in one of the friendly matches. Nevertheless, the imminent arrival of new forwards (including Álvaro Morata) diminishes his chances of playing, prompting the coaching staff led by Cesc Fàbregas to consider a loan as the best option.
Valencia's sporting director sees this deal as a temporary solution to the shortage of attackers, as the team currently only has Hugo Duro in the forward line. However, the club continues to search the market for another offensive addition to strengthen the attack and bring back the goals that have been lacking at the start of this season.
