Valencia is looking for a right-back: They have 2 options.

Apuesta a este partido aquí

Valencia is determined to strengthen its squad in January, with its current priority being to bolster the right flank following Thierry Correia's unfortunate injury, which will keep him out for the rest of the season. This absence has forced the board to explore options in the market, with two clear candidates in sight: Iván Balliu, the Rayo Vallecano full-back, and Álex Sancris, the Burgos CF winger, as reported by Relevo.

The urgency to add talent to their lineup is not only due to Correia's loss but also to the need to climb positions in LaLiga standings, where the team is looking to move out of the bottom half of the table.

Valencia Seeks Right-Back

Iván Balliu, an experienced defender at Rayo Vallecano, has been one of Valencia's initial contacts. Despite his experience, the Albanian international has seen reduced minutes this season to Andrei Ratiu, which could facilitate his departure. However, although Balliu's contract expires at the end of the season, his signing might be complex, as Rayo may not easily release a key player before June.

The second option for Valencia is Álex Sancris, a young winger from Burgos who has attracted interest from several clubs. With a contract until the summer, the player would be open to negotiations in the winter market, although his priority would be to join Mestalla. The situation, however, depends on Valencia's resources and their ability to close the deal without significant financial outlays.

In addition to these two players, the club is interested in forward Iván Azón from Zaragoza, although the January transfer limit has been set at two signings. Valencia aims to avoid past mistakes and intends to act swiftly and precisely to secure the necessary reinforcements to boost the team in a challenging season.
