Go back to work with everything pending

Valencia will return this Tuesday to the sports city of Paterna to start the preseason with medical and physical tests and will do so with all pending market work and with the idea and the need for outflows to occur first, although after having closed last year’s accounts with losses.

The Italian technician Gennaro Gattuso It will not have any new incorporation, beyond the fact that the Mestalla club acquired the property of the striker last May Hugo Hard by exercising the purchase option that he had.

Its continuity, the departure of the players who had finished their contract (those on loan Omar Alderete, Helder Costa, Bryan Gil and Ilaix Moribaapart from Russian Denis Cheryshev that it was property of the club) and the return of some on loan such as Manu Vallejo are the only changes to the template left Jose Bordalás.

The Mestalla club will close the 2021-22 season with losses that could be around seventy million euros, nearly double what was expected since the budgeted 36 million had not been entered and, although formally it will no longer be able to save the accounts, its need to sell has not decreased.

On the exit ramp is the Portuguese attacker Goncalo Guedes, with two more guaranteed campaigns, followed by the players who end their contract in 2023 as Carlos Soler, José Luis Gayà, Hugo Guillamón, Jasper Cillessen or Mouctar Diakhaby, that if they do not renew before January they will be free to sign for another club without leaving anything in the entity’s coffers. They also finish within a year Toni Lato and Jaume Doménechalthough its output rather than income would reduce expenses.

The lack of certainty in the departures means that the club’s objectives in the market are not very clear either, something that Gattuso He did not specify in his presentation either.

Alderete’s march, which was headline for bordalasseems to leave a hole in the center of the defense but it is necessary to see in what consideration it has Gattuso to Diakhaby or to Cristhian Mosquera. The young center-back is one of the youth players who are summoned to do the pre-season with the first team.
