Valencia CF has managed to secure a significant reinforcement for its midfield with the addition of Baptiste Santamaría from Rennes. The 30-year-old French midfielder lands at Mestalla with the aim of bringing a boost in quality to the core of the team led by Carlos Corberán, who had requested a profile with experience and balance to strengthen his playing scheme.

The deal, revealed by the newspaper Marca, has been closed for a sum that could reach 2 million euros depending on variables linked to the player's performance and the team's objectives. Additionally, Rennes has negotiated to retain a percentage in case of a future sale, indicating the French club's continued confidence in the player's medium-term value.

Fits perfectly with what Corberán asked of Valencia

Santamaría, who played on loan at Nice last season and featured in 14 official matches, is expected to undergo a medical examination in the coming days before finalizing his new contract with the Mestalla club. His profile aligns with the requirements that the Valencia coach had been emphasizing: a player with authority, good positioning, and the ability to provide balance between defense and attack.

This move confirms Valencia's intention to continue the progress shown in the latter part of the previous season. Corberán trusts that Santamaría's experience and solidity will help strengthen the squad and give it greater consistency in a campaign where European aspirations are once again an ambitious yet achievable goal. Besides, the Frenchman becomes the fourth signing for the club following the arrivals of Dani Raba, Julen Agirrezabala, and Copete.
