Carlos Corberán is facing a decisive winter transfer window for the planning of Valencia CF. Following the signings of Guido Rodríguez, Umar Sadiq, and Unai Núñez, the Valencia coach must now make some exits to make room for potential new acquisitions.

The club is currently facing an "overbooking" situation in the midfield, with too many players in the same position and some of them having little to no impact. In this scenario, Dani Raba, André Almeida, and Baptiste Santamaria are on the way out.

Need to free up space in the squad

Guido Rodríguez's arrival, coupled with the good performances of players like Lucas Beltrán, has further crowded the midfield position. With competition from Filip Ugrinic and Javi Guerra, the options for Raba and Almeida have significantly decreased, putting both players in a challenging situation.

On the other hand, Baptiste Santamaria also sees his future uncertain. While he has been an important piece in previous years, his role has been overshadowed by other players, making him one of those likely to leave to create room for new additions.

Valencia needs to sell to continue making signings, and the main focus of the market is a right-back to compete with José Luis Gayà. However, the club can only move forward once it frees up salary space.

Carlos Corberán and his vision for the defense

Carlos Corberán is certain that Valencia needs to strengthen its defense, especially with a right-back who can provide security both in attack and defense. Consequently, the exits of players like Raba, Almeida , and Santamaria are essential as they would free up space in the squad and budget.

Corberán is closely monitoring any potential offers for these players, understanding that exits must align with the club's interests. With the market closing on February 2nd, Valencia aims to strike the right balance between departures and new signings.

Valencia's future depends on player exits

In conclusion, the immediate future of Valencia CF relies on an effective management of departures, allowing room for reinforcements. Carlos Corberán and his coaching staff understand that securing a right-back is a priority, necessitating difficult decisions regarding players who will be leaving the squad.
