La Liga
Valencia has taken the initiative to reinforce its defense and has put a formal proposal on the table for Mario Hermoso, the current player of Roma, as reported by Santi Aouna. The intention of Valencia is to incorporate him on loan with a purchase option at the end of the season, in a move that seeks to balance experience and financial flexibility. However, Italy does not view this formula favorably and prefers the purchase to be mandatory at the end of the loan.
Hermoso, 30 years old, signed with the Roman team until 2027, but his future could change course after a season where he did not fully establish himself as an undisputed starter. The interest of Valencia responds to the urgent need to strengthen the core of the defense with a left-footed central defender with international experience, capable of providing solidity and leadership to a defensive line that has shown weaknesses in recent months.
Valencia CF wants to sign Mario Hermoso
Valencia's sports management believes that the profile of the Madrid native fits perfectly with the project's requirements. With good ball distribution, experience in LaLiga, and knowledge of the competitive environment, Hermoso could be an immediate impact addition to the Mestalla team.
However, the negotiation is not yet closed. The main hurdle lies in the purchase clause: while the Spanish club insists on maintaining flexibility, Roma wants to ensure a fixed income and not leave the operation to chance based on the player's performance. Discussions are ongoing, and the next few hours are expected to be crucial to determine whether Mario Hermoso returns to Spain or continues his adventure in Serie A.
