Latest news about Valencia. José Luis Gayà, 31 years old, is willing to reduce his salary by close to 70% to stay at Mestalla beyond June 30, 2027, when his contract ends, as reported by journalist Germán Muñoz on El Partidazo de la Una. The full-back currently earns around €6 million gross and would accept dropping to a figure close to €2 million.

Gayà's willingness has already reached Braulio Vázquez, although there is still no agreement to extend the contract. The sporting director wants to first evaluate the player's performance during the season before deciding whether to make a renewal proposal.

José Luis Gayà puts his salary at the service of his continuity

The salary reduction proposed by Gayà would mean cutting his salary by around €4 million gross per season, going from approximately €6 million to €2 million. This figure would make the captain's continuity an operation with a very different economic impact for Valencia.

The player is under contract until June 30, 2027, so the club still has room to study his situation without the need for an immediate agreement. Gayà, in the meantime, has made it clear that his priority is to remain at the club.

The captain has already publicly expressed his desire to play games at the Nou Mestalla. In an interview published this week, he avoided going into details about his renewal and focused his speech on helping Valencia, which is currently hindered by its sporting situation.

The decision also needs to be analyzed from the perspective of the salary cap. A new contract for Gayà would have to be registered within LaLiga's rules, which will determine how the economic conditions of the contract are computed.

If @valenciacf decided to renew Gayà for the €2 million he accepts, the salary cut would be such that LaLiga would intervene.

Braulio Vázquez will decide after evaluating Gayà

Braulio Vázquez took over as sporting director of Valencia in September and has already placed the renewal of Gayà among the matters he will need to manage. The executive has stated that the full-back can still contribute to the team, although the process is not closed yet.

Braulio's stance is to observe the player's performance during the season before making a formal offer. Therefore, Gayà's willingness to accept a salary of around €2 million gross does not imply that the renewal will automatically take place.

Gayà continues to be a regular piece of Valencia and one of the longest-serving players in the squad. He joined the first team in 2012 and last renewed in 2022, extending his contract until 2027.

The current scenario leaves open a path for both parties: Valencia can evaluate the captain over the next few months, and Gayà has already set the economic limit he would be willing to assume to continue.

The next step will be the decision of Braulio Vázquez once the season progresses. If the performance convinces the sporting director, the reduction of José Luis Gayà's salary could facilitate a new negotiation, although the final salary must fit both the club's accounts and LaLiga's squad cost limit.
