Valencia CF will have to cross a name off their list of potential forwards. Iván Azón, one of the targets closely followed by the sports management, has decided to head to England to join Ipswich Town, a team currently competing in the Championship, the second division of English football.

With this move, the Valencia team loses the opportunity to sign a player who, until very recently, seemed to have one foot in Mestalla, but the loan with Como could not be finalized.

In recent weeks, Valencia had shown interest in Azón, the forward from Como in the Italian Serie A, but had not taken the final step to secure his arrival. The operation was put on a sort of "strategic pause," waiting to see how the market moved in other positions. According to Sport, this waiting game ended up working against the Spanish club when Ipswich Town came in with a solid and convincing offer for both the player and his current team.

The Zaragoza striker had always shown willingness to wear the Valencia shirt. In fact, he turned down financially more attractive offers from other European clubs to give Valencia time to finalize their interest. However, the waiting period could not go on indefinitely. Faced with the risk of not finding an attractive destination, Azón chose to accept the English offer.

Valencia never intended to pay Como for Iván Azón

Ipswich will pay €2 million solely for the loan, an amount Valencia was never willing to pay. Furthermore, the agreement includes a mandatory purchase clause if the British team achieves promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season. This was key in convincing Como to close the deal, as it ensures significant income in the medium term.

Another determining factor was the salary offered by Ipswich Town, notably higher than what Valencia could offer. The financial stability and the possibility to compete in an ambitious project in England decisively tilted the balance in favor of the British club.

With this decision, Valencia CF will need to redirect their search for a forward in the market. The sports management is already working on alternatives to strengthen an attack that needs more firepower for the second half of the season. Azón's departure to the Championship leaves a gap that the club will have to fill quickly, especially considering that the winter market usually does not offer many bargains.

For Iván Azón, this move represents an opportunity to grow in a demanding environment with significant potential. Ipswich Town, aiming to return to the elite of English football, is betting heavily on a young player with potential and a hunger for prominence. Only time will tell if this decision was the best for both parties, but it is clear that Azón's chapter at Valencia has closed even before it began.
