Eray Cömert, a 28-year-old Swiss center-back, has signed with Torino after his contract with Valencia CF ended on June 30th. The defender confirmed his new destination this Tuesday and used the announcement to bid farewell to the Valencia club nearly a month after becoming a free agent.

The player explained that he delayed his message because he still had the possibility of continuing at Mestalla. Cömert hoped that both parties would find a way to renew his contract, but Valencia decided not to make an offer after four seasons with two loan moves in between.

His move to Torino comes at no transfer cost. The center-back arrives as a free agent after featuring in 17 official matches last season, scoring two goals, and regaining importance during the final stretch due to defensive absences.

Eray Cömert Hoped to Stay at Valencia CF

Eray Cömert acknowledged in his farewell that he wanted to extend his time at Valencia CF. The Swiss stated that he held on to hope until the end to play alongside the fans again and pointed out that his goal since arriving was always to establish himself in the team.

The center-back landed at Mestalla in January 2022 from Basel. He signed until June 30, 2026 and played in 55 official matches with Valencia's shirt, although he struggled to secure a regular place in the starting lineup during his initial seasons.

The lack of continuity led to two consecutive loans. Cömert spent the 2023/24 season at Nantes and the 2024/25 season at Real Valladolid before returning to Valencia for the final year of his contract.

Carlos Corberán initially did not include him among his first choices, but injuries to Mouctar Diakhaby and José Copete limited the defensive options. This situation allowed the Swiss to accumulate minutes in LaLiga during the second half of the season.

Torino Signs Eray Cömert as a Free Agent

Torino took advantage of his contract expiration to acquire Eray Cömert without paying a fee to Valencia. The defender will now embark on his first experience in Italian football after competing in Switzerland, Spain, and France.

His time at Valencia also included one of the most talked-about episodes in the recent derby against Levante. After a 0-2 triumph at Ciutat de València, the center-back used one of the stadium's corner flags during the celebration, causing tension between the two teams.

Cömert stressed in his farewell that he always tried to give his best performance when given playing time. He also expressed gratitude for the support received from teammates, club staff, and fans over the four and a half years since his arrival.

Corberán Undecided on Cömert's Continuity

Eray Cömert's next step will be to join Torino's preparations and compete for a place before the start of Serie A. Valencia CF, on the other hand, must decide whether to return to the market in case of any additional defensive exits as the next season approaches with fewer options in defense.
