André Almeida, 26-year-old Portuguese midfielder and player of Valencia CF, has halted his move to Swansea during this summer transfer window. The English club has presented an official offer that convinces at Mestalla, but the player does not want to compete in the second English category.

Negotiations between the clubs are advanced, and only a few details remain to be resolved. However, the agreement cannot be finalized as long as Almeida has doubts about the destination and awaits proposals from clubs competing in a top-tier division.

Valencia CF Pushes André Almeida towards Exit

As reported by Marca, Valencia CF has signaled through its sporting decisions that André Almeida is not considered a key player. Carlos Corberán has reduced his prominence and, in the last friendly match, placed Dani Raba ahead of the Portuguese.

This scenario contrasts with the contract renewal signed in September 2025. Almeida extended his contract by one season then, until June 30, 2029, and obtained an improvement in his salary conditions.

Despite the extension, the midfielder lost importance during the last season. He featured in 22 LaLiga matches but played less than 1,000 minutes and only participated in 14 minutes in the final rounds of the championship.

Valencia believes that his departure would allow them to generate income and free up salary space. Almeida arrived from Vitória de Guimarães in 2022 for around €7.5 million, an investment the club aims to recuperate as much as possible.

Swansea Convinces the Club, but Not the Player

The Swansea has been the first to submit an official offer for André Almeida. The suggested conditions have been positively assessed by the Valencia management, with an agreement pending resolution of some points.

The main obstacle lies in the player's decision. The Welsh team competes in the Championship, the English second division, and Almeida believes that leaving LaLiga to play in that category would mean a setback in his career.

Those involved in the deal are aiming to persuade him to accept the proposal. Swansea offers him an immediate exit from a team where he would have limited playing time, but the Portuguese prefers to wait and see if an opportunity arises in Spain or another top-level competition.

His refusal prevents Valencia from executing what they consider a suitable deal. The club cannot force him to accept a contract, and his commitment until 2029 allows the midfielder to manage his time without the risk of becoming a free agent shortly.

Corberán Reduces the Portuguese's Playing Time

Corberán's planning confirms that Almeida will struggle to play at Valencia. The coach has other options for interior and offensive positions, with Raba gaining minutes during training despite initially being considered for a potential departure.

The next move depends on André Almeida. Valencia CF will continue trying to align with the player's wishes while Swansea awaits a definitive response. If the Portuguese maintains his refusal, the club will need to seek a new buyer before the market closure or accept his continuity in LaLiga until an acceptable offer emerges.
