Antonio Sivera has not lost hope of returning to the team that saw him grow. In an interview with À Punt Esports, the goalkeeper of Deportivo Alavés admitted: "If the possibility arises, it would be an honor." However, he wanted to make clear his current commitment: "Right now, I am completely focused on making Alavés perform as well as possible, that's why I work every day."
His connection to Valencia remains strong in his speech. Sivera combines nostalgia for his roots with the maturity of someone who understands that football is also about the present. Time, as he himself says, will be the judge of whether that reunion between the player and Valencia CF will actually happen.
Sivera's Emotional Bond with Valencia CF
The goalkeeper does not hide his feelings. "It's sad as a Valencia supporter to see Valencia suffering, being in a position that history doesn't dictate," he acknowledged. His words reflect the deep connection he maintains with the club that trained him and where he emerged as one of the top goalkeeper prospects.
Every time Alavés faces Valencia, the match takes on a special meaning for him. Confronting the emblem that marked his early professional steps carries a clear emotional weight. "Whenever I see the Valencia badge on an opponent's jersey, for me, it's a special match," he recently confessed.
However, the return wouldn't be straightforward. Antonio Sivera is under contract with Alavés until June 2027, and the Basque club considers the goalkeeper a key piece. On the other hand, Valencia CF currently has high-level goalkeepers and doesn't seem to have immediate needs in that position.
Realism, Commitment, and Possible Scenarios
Antonio Sivera's discourse balances hope and sensibility. He knows that football changes quickly, but he also understands that his current priority is Deportivo Alavés. "I am focused on making Alavés perform as well as possible," he insisted, aware that consistency in the present is the best way to secure his future.
From Vitoria, there are no signs that the club is willing to negotiate his departure in the short term. The Alicante-born goalkeeper has gained influence in the dressing room and has established himself as one of the team's silent leaders. Meanwhile, in Valencia, the possibility of his return sparks debate: Would it be a strategic signing or a sentimental gesture? That uncertainty, between sports logic and Valencia's heart, perfectly sums up the situation.
The Future as a Possible Successor
In the event of a restructuring in Valencia CF's goalkeeping department, Sivera's name could once again come to the forefront. It would be a logical addition in line with the club's philosophy: recovering homegrown talent with a sense of belonging. The player himself has not demanded anything or pressured for statements. He has merely left the door slightly open. A simple gesture, but enough to reignite hope at Mestalla.
A Duel Laden with Symbolism
The upcoming match between Deportivo Alavés and Valencia CF promises to hold special significance. Beyond the points, that match will be an emotional reunion for Antonio Sivera. The goalkeeper who once dreamed in Paterna will once again face head-on the badge that shaped his early footballing days.
Every save, every glance at the stands, will serve as a reminder that football is also about memories and feelings. For the goalkeeper, that connection has never been broken. "I would love to see things go better for them," he expressed about the Mestalla club. Sincere words that encapsulate what many fans feel: a desire to see Valencia once again where they deserve to be.
Antonio Sivera keeps the dream of a return alive. He does not demand it, he does not pursue it, but he lets it linger between the lines. And while he continues to shine with Deportivo Alavés, his story with Valencia CF continues to be quietly written. The future will determine if the circle will, someday, close again.
