Valencia is facing a winter transfer window filled with uncertainty and urgency. With the pressing need to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season, the Mestalla club has had to readjust its strategy after the unexpected rejection of Elif Elmas. The Macedonian midfielder was the major bet to boost the team's midfield, and negotiations with his camp seemed to be on track. However, the indecision of the player and his desire to return to Italy ultimately thwarted the operation, with Torino as his final destination.

Valencia is already working on a plan B

Faced with this setback, the Valencia sports management had to react promptly and has set its sights on Ismaël Koné, a Canadian midfielder from Olympique de Marseille, as reported by the newspaper Marca. Known for his time at Watford in the Championship, the player has been a specific request from Carlos Corberán, who sees him as a key piece to strengthen the squad in their battle for survival.

Despite Valencia's interest, the French club is not willing to let go of Koné without conditions. His arrival in Marseille involved a €12 million outlay, and his club demands financial compensation for a potential loan. Negotiations are ongoing, but time is of the essence, and the Che team will have to act decisively to secure their desired reinforcement before the market closes.
