UEFA Champions League
Valencia CF faces a decisive week to define the project of the upcoming season, with a very clear idea in the sports management: to renew the squad.
The continuity of Carlos Corberán as the core of the plan does not prevent a firm conclusion. The team needs departures, fresh air, and resolute decisions after a too irregular season.
Valencia CF activates a necessary departure operation
Valencia CF finished the championship in a position that may mask part of the analysis, but within the club, nobody forgets the accumulated suffering. The team spent too many matchdays looking down in LaLiga, with continuity issues, lack of assertiveness, and a constant sense of fragility.
Therefore, the internal diagnosis points to a broad clean-up. It is not just about adjusting names but correcting a dangerous dynamic. Carlos Corberán already knows that the club wants a clear list of departures. Planning cannot wait any longer, and the 2026-27 campaign starts now.
The coach has gained weight in decision-making. According to Marca, Valencia CF believes that its coach should be the cornerstone of the new sports project. However, that trust also implies responsibility. Corberán will have to indicate which players fit and which have reached the end of their journey at Mestalla.
Carlos Corberán will not count on the loaned players
One of the firmest decisions directly affects the loaned players. Valencia CF does not plan to make proposals to retain them. Renzo Saravia, Unai Núñez, Largie Ramazani, and Julen Aguirrezabala are not part of the plans for the upcoming period, barring an unexpected turn in the market.
The club's assessment is clear. None have provided sufficient reasons to justify an investment or a complex negotiation with their original entities. In Saravia's case, the physical and competitive situation does not help either. The full-back has not managed to establish himself as a key player.
Unai Núñez arrived to strengthen a defense marked by injuries, but his continuity is not seen as a priority for Valencia CF. Ramazani has also failed to convince completely. His profile was attractive due to his speed and dribbling ability, but his performance has not changed the offensive landscape.
Aguirrezabala, in turn, will also not continue. The club understands that the goal needs a stable solution, not a temporary fix.

LaLiga demands a more reliable squad
Recent experience provides a clear lesson. Competing in LaLiga with a short, irregular squad dependent on streaks involves taking too many risks. Valencia CF wants to avoid another year of anguish. For that, they need committed, reliable players capable of maintaining their level for months.
Spain remains a priority market to identify opportunities, but the club will also consider profiles abroad if they fit within the economic limit. The sports management knows that it will not be enough just to sign players. They will also need to sell well and reduce the wage bill to gain maneuvering room.
Valencia CF awaits the decision on Guido Rodriguez
The case of Guido Rodriguez is on another level. The Argentine is liked, but his economic demands are still far from what the club can afford. The midfielder also wants to understand the real scope of the project. He is not only looking at the contract but also the competitive level that Mestalla can offer him.
His agents are exploring options in Spain and Italy. Valencia CF is attentive but does not seem willing to jeopardize its financial balance. The priority is to build a more coherent squad. Carlos Corberán wants fewer stopgaps and more players suited to his philosophy from the outset.
The fans expect clear signals. After a season full of surprises, the message must be one of ambition, demand, and real self-criticism. Valencia CF acknowledges that the summer will be long, but the first decision has already been made: there will be a squad clean-up, and the loaned players will not continue.
