Valencia CF faces a decisive phase of the transfer market. After the signings of Baptiste Santamaría, Filip Ugrinic, and Arnaut Danjuma, the sports management now faces a crucial challenge: to free up space in the squad. With all 25 slots filled, the club must complete departures before adding new reinforcements.
Up to seven players may leave Valencia in the coming days. The so-called "Operation Exit" has a twofold aim. Sportingly, it will enable Carlos Corberán to strengthen key areas and increase internal competition. Economically, it seeks to create space in the Financial Fair Play guidelines and, in some cases, ease financial burdens.
Fran Pérez:
The most advanced case, as reported by Superdeporte, is that of Fran Pérez, whose move to Rayo Vallecano is nearly finalized. Both clubs have agreed on terms, and the Madrid-based club aims to register him soon to compete in the Conference League. However, Corberán demands finalizing the signing of a winger before giving the green light.
André Almeida:
Another close deal is for André Almeida, with Turkish side Trabzonspor ready to bring him in. Negotiations are near conclusion but not finalized: the Turkish club offers just over six million euros plus variables, while Valencia aims for eight million. The coming days will be crucial to see the outcome.
Canós and Guillamón:
The list also includes Sergi Canós, who would agree to terminate his contract after being excluded during the preseason. More complex is the case of Hugo Guillamón, given his high salary and disagreements over the amount to waive to leave as a free agent.
Alberto Marí, Dimitrievski, Comert:
Other names the club aims to place include Alberto Marí, who was injured at the start of preseason; Stole Dimitrievski, unhappy with his role and open to seeking a starting goalkeeper position elsewhere; and Eray Cömert, demoted to fourth-choice center-back. In these three cases, Valencia hopes to receive offers to facilitate their departures.
Valencia aims to sell to continue buying
Corberán understands that the final plan hinges on these operations. If the club manages to offload the designated players, it can seek a new forward, a reliable center-back, and a goalkeeper to compete for the spot. Otherwise, the squad might become unbalanced, something the coach wants to avoid at all costs.
The situation reflects a recurring issue at Mestalla: the challenge of finding destinations for players not in the sporting plans but with high contracts or personal situations that complicate transfers. Nonetheless, the board acknowledges that without these exits, the market room to maneuver would be nil.
Valencia CF is heading towards a hectic market closure. The departures of these seven players will not only be pivotal to strengthen the squad but also to ensure the economic and sporting stability of the club. The upcoming weeks will determine whether the team starts the season with the adjustments Corberán deems essential for competitive performance.
