Valencia asks for more money for André Almeida

Valencia CF has taken a firm stance in the transfer market after rejecting an official proposal from Trabzonspor for their midfielder André Almeida. The Portuguese player is not part of Carlos Corberán's plans, and Dani Raba, a new signing for the club, has taken his place in the starting eleven.

According to the Turkish newspaper 'Sabah', the Turkish club offered approximately six million euros to acquire the Portuguese footballer, but Valencia considers this amount to be below the player's actual value.

In Valencia, they believe that André Almeida is an important piece of the current project, and although he is not untouchable, they would only consider letting him go for a figure around eight million euros. The disparity between both valuations has so far hindered the progress of negotiations.

Trabzonspor, one of the standout teams in the Süper Lig, was looking to strengthen their midfield with a player capable of providing technical quality, vision, and goals from midfield. The profile of the Portuguese international fits perfectly into this plan, and sources close to the player suggest that he wouldn't mind a change of scenery to test himself in a different league with a new competitive challenge.

From within Valencia CF, it is emphasized that there is no rush to conclude any deal. The club is going through a season where sporting stability is crucial, and they do not want to part ways with key players midway through the campaign. Additionally, the fact that André Almeida's contract still has duration gives Valencia a strong position in the negotiations.

The initial proposal from the Turkish side has been deemed insufficient, but a new approach in the coming weeks is not ruled out. Turkish press sources suggest that Trabzonspor would be willing to improve their offer, as long as the player remains inclined to join their project.

On the sporting front, the Portuguese midfielder has shown solid performances since arriving at Mestalla, blending defensive work with quality distribution. Despite not always being an undisputed starter, his versatility and ability to adapt to different tactical systems make him a valuable asset for the coach.

For now, the ball is in the court of both clubs. Valencia CF sticks to their valuation around eight million euros, while Trabzonspor assesses how far they can go without destabilizing their budget. The player's willingness and the clubs' flexibility will be crucial for this deal to materialize before the transfer window closes.

The story of this Turkish interest in André Almeida may have several more chapters. The market is unpredictable, and any adjustments in positions could pave the way for a beneficial agreement for all parties involved. Meanwhile, the midfielder continues to work as usual, focused on helping Valencia CF achieve their sporting goals this season.
