Valencia is determined to keep Enzo Barrenechea in their squad beyond the upcoming summer. The Argentine midfielder, on loan from Aston Villa, has convinced Carlos Corberán, who considers him a key player in his system and has asked the sports management to do everything possible to retain him.
Valencia is exploring two ways to ensure the player's continuity. Firstly, they will try to extend his loan for another season, avoiding an immediate outlay. However, they have also approached Aston Villa to inquire about the conditions for a possible permanent transfer. According to sources close to the negotiation, the English club would be willing to part with Barrenechea for a figure ranging between 7 and 8 million euros.
Prioritizing a loan deal, but not ruling out a purchase
Valencia's sports management views the operation favorably as the player has proven to be a valuable asset in midfield. His ability to win back possession and distribute play has been crucial in Corberán's system, who trusts in his progression for the future.
Valencia will now need to assess their financial situation before making a final decision. The option of a transfer will largely depend on the club's ability to raise funds through a sale in the upcoming transfer market. The truth is that Barrenechea has fit in perfectly, and his future could remain tied to Mestalla.
