Valencia CF receives a direct message from Arnaut Danjuma in the midst of the transfer market: the 29-year-old Dutch attacker wants to stay at Mestalla. After scoring in the 1-1 draw against Stoke City, the player stated that he trusts the squad and their chances for the 2026-2027 season.

Danjuma's stance contrasts with the reports over the past weeks that had linked his name to possible departures. The forward is not publicly considering a club change and is using the preseason to prove that he can regain a prominent role in Carlos Corberán's plans.

Danjuma responds with three goals in two matches

The attacker's performance during the camp in England has bolstered his case to stay. Danjuma has scored three goals in his last two appearances: he netted a brace against Derby County and found the target again against Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium.

Facing Stoke-on-Trent, the Dutchman played as a center forward and put Valencia CF ahead in the first half. The play originated from a combination between Javi Guerra and Hugo Monferrer, before Danjuma finished the move inside the area. The opponent eventually leveled the match through a Monferrer own goal.

His preseason numbers hold significance after a season where he lost influence within the team. The forward joined Mestalla in August 2025 from Villarreal CF, was assigned the number 7, and signed a three-year contract valid until June 30, 2028.

Valencia CF must make a decision during the market

The player's continuity does not solely rely on his desire. Valencia CF must decide whether to keep the attacker in the squad or listen to offers before the market closes, following his potential exit being among the pending matters of the sports management.

One of the challenges in finding him a destination is his contractual situation. Danjuma still has two seasons left at Mestalla, meaning any departure would need a solution through a transfer, loan agreement, or negotiated termination. During the summer, the MLS emerged as a possible path, although his salary complicated that option.

The player, on his part, has not requested to leave the club. After the friendly against Stoke City, he explained that he is in good physical shape, highlighted his comfort as a center forward, and expressed his confidence in the team's preparation.

A definitive response will come when Corberán finalizes the setup of his attack for the start of the competition. Until then, Danjuma will continue to compete for a spot while Valencia CF assesses whether his preseason goals justify his stay until the market's end.
