The situation of Cenk Özkacar at Valencia has reached a critical point. The Turkish defender, who was signed for five million euros a couple of seasons ago, has been sidelined by coach Rubén Baraja. The club's management has activated a security protocol to protect their investment, a measure similar to that taken with Javi Guerra, and is now working intensively to find him an exit.

Miguel Ángel Corona, during the recent presentation of Luis Rioja, made it clear that the goal is to preserve the player's economic value. With Cenk out of the plans, the club has been forced to look for an alternative to strengthen their defense, as they only have three central defenders in the squad: Tárrega, Mosquera, and Yarek.

If he leaves, Valencia could sign a new central defender

Valladolid is emerging as the most likely destination for the Turkish player, as the Valladolid team, having brought in Eray Cömert from Valencia, is monitoring the situation of Boyoyo, their starting central defender, who could move to Osasuna. If confirmed, as reported by MARCA, Valencia will need to act swiftly in the market, with Alexis Duarte from Spartak Moscow and Unai Núñez, currently at Celta de Vigo, in their sights as possible reinforcements.

Valencia's urgent need to offload Cenk reflects the necessity to balance their squad and meet Baraja's requirements, who has asked for two players per position in defense.
