Jesús Vázquez has become one of the standout names in the Valencia CF transfer market after a season where he has taken a step forward. The left-back has played around 30 matches between LaLiga and the Copa, a figure that confirms his growth and explains the interest from several clubs.
The Valencian academy product, 23 years old, has gone from being a mere alternative to José Luis Gayà to becoming a future asset for Mestalla. Hence, although Celta de Vigo and Getafe have inquired about him, the club's stance is clear: his departure is non-negotiable.
Jesús Vázquez convinces Valencia CF
Valencia CF is certain that Jesús Vázquez is part of their plans. The player extended his contract until 2028, and within the club, he is seen as a player with potential to establish himself at left-back in the coming years.
His history carries weight as well. He joined the VCF Academy at just five years old, made his first-team debut on December 20, 2020, in the Copa del Rey against Terrassa, and has gradually earned more playing time.
His numbers reflect his progress: 1 match in 2020/21, 17 in 2021/22, 12 in 2022/23, 23 in 2023/24, 24 in 2024/25, and 29 in the last season. It's not just a one-time breakthrough but sustained growth.
Celta de Vigo persists in pursuing Jesús Vázquez
Celta de Vigo is the club that has knocked the hardest. As reported by Cadena SER, the Galician club has approached Valencia again to try to initiate negotiations for Jesús Vázquez.
The Celestes' interest has a tactical explanation. Claudio Giráldez highly admires the Valencia native, not only as a full-back but also for his potential fit as a left-sided third central in certain contexts.
Celta was particularly impressed by what they saw of the player at Balaídos. His stride, defensive reading, and ability to gain ground make him an appealing option for a team looking to strengthen its squad for a demanding season.
Getafe also keeps an eye on the full-back
Getafe has also monitored the situation closely. José Bordalás is familiar with Jesús Vázquez from their time at Mestalla and has tried to sign him on more than one occasion.
The Azulones value his intensity, youth, and room for improvement, qualities that appeal to Bordalás. However, for now, Getafe faces the same barrier as other suitors: Valencia is not willing to let him go.
LaLiga and Gayà's future set the context
The left-back situation at Valencia has several nuances. Gayà remains the captain and a locker room leader, but his age, physical issues, and the passage of time compel the club to look beyond the short term.
This is where Jesús Vázquez emerges as a natural solution. At Mestalla, they believe he could be Gayà's sporting heir when the time comes, especially if he maintains the progression displayed in LaLiga over the past season.
The player wishes to stay at his home club. He is a Valencian, a Valencia fan, and understands that his future depends on the club's decision, though he is also aware that he needs playing time to avoid stagnation.
Currently, the message is clear. Jesús Vázquez is not for sale; Valencia CF does not want to part with him, and both Celta de Vigo and Getafe will have to look elsewhere unless an unexpected turn of events occurs. At Mestalla, they have a plan for the academy product, aiming to develop him into a significant left-back in LaLiga.
