Valencia, in the race for Borja Iglesias
Valencia, in the race for Borja Iglesias

Valencia has set its sights on Borja Iglesias as a possible attacking addition for the 2025-26 season. The Galician forward, who is coming from a loan spell with Celta de Vigo, is being considered by several clubs, and Valencia sees him as an opportunity to add experience and goals to their squad. While Celta is interested in retaining him, difficulties in reaching an agreement with Betis have opened the door to new alternatives. Valencia has acted swiftly.

Carlos Corberán, who is looking for a '9' to complement his playing style, has received positive reports about the forward, who is familiar with Valencia having passed through their youth ranks. His past and his profile as a hardworking and experienced forward fit into the project taking shape at Mestalla.

Valencia considers signing Borja Iglesias to boost their attack

Meanwhile, Borja continues training under Pellegrini's guidance, although he understands that he is not part of the coach's plans for the new season. In fact, his recent exclusion from a squad against Córdoba reinforces that feeling, although he will be part of the tour in England.

Currently, Betis is not considering including him in other operations, such as the negotiation for Colombian Deossa with Rayados, but the situation could change at any time. The Betis sporting directors have made it clear that they will not facilitate his departure at a low cost, as the player still has a year left on his contract.

With the transfer market still active, Valencia's interest adds a new element to a story that is yet to unfold. Everything will depend on the negotiations between the clubs... and on the decisions made by the 'Panda' himself.
