José Luis Gayà, a 31-year-old left-back, appears among the latest rumors of Valencia CF. The captain has gone two consecutive LaLiga matches without playing a single minute despite being available. Carlos Corberán has chosen Jesús Vázquez over Gayà against Betis and Deportivo, while Gayà's contract expires in June 2027 and his renewal is still pending.

The change comes after Gayà was a starter in the first match against Celta. Since then, the coach has opted for Jesús Vázquez as the left-back by sporting decision, with no injury explaining the two consecutive benchings.

💭 Do you consider Valencia's renewal proposal for GAYÀ fair, which would see him go from earning 3M to 500K?

José Luis Gayà faces an unprecedented situation with Carlos Corberán

José Luis Gayà had never spent two full Liga matchdays on the bench while available since establishing himself in Valencia's first team. He did not participate against Real Betis and the situation repeated against Deportivo at Riazor.

This fact breaks more than a decade of continuity. Gayà has played more than 340 matches in La Liga with Valencia, starting in over 320, showing the stability of his role since his breakthrough in the 2014-15 season.

The decision lies with Carlos Corberán, who believes Jesús Vázquez is currently in good form justifying his presence in the starting lineup. The academy player has seized his chances and, for now, maintains an edge in the direct competition for the left-back spot.

Gayà had previously competed with players like Guilherme Siqueira, Toni Lato, Jaume Costa, and Jesús Vázquez himself. The difference now is that he had never been left out for two consecutive La Liga matches without any physical limitation.

Valencia CF also struggles to renew José Luis Gayà's contract

The loss of prominence coincides with another pending issue: his contract. José Luis Gayà is linked to Valencia CF until June 30, 2027, entering the final twelve months of his deal this season.

Negotiations to extend it have made no progress. The initial financial proposal from Valencia was deemed insufficient by the player's representatives, even though Gayà had shown willingness to make a significant adjustment to his current salary.

The contractual situation gains importance with each passing month. If there is no renewal before January 2027, Gayà will be able to negotiate freely with other clubs once his contract expires, although his intention had been to stay at Mestalla.

Corberán does not want to anticipate an outcome either. When recently asked about the captain's future, the coach simply stated that he currently includes the player in the squad, without delving into the conditions of a possible contract extension.

The next step for José Luis Gayà will be to try to regain his starting role against Jesús Vázquez while the club keeps the door open for his renewal. With a contract until 2027, the sporting development in the coming matchdays and Valencia CF's response in negotiations will determine whether the captain extends a journey that began over a decade ago.
