The Bordalás project starts with an average age of 22.8 years

José Bordalás' Valencia started the preseason on Wednesday and did so with an average age of only 22.8 years. It is true that neither are they who will be nor are all who are, but what the Alicante coach found on his first official day with his players was precociousness. The presence of ten homegrown players in this first week of work contributes to this, although other than Cillessen, Jaume, Gabriel, Piccini, Jason and Sobrino, no player is more than 25 years old and of those still to come, only Wass, Cheryshev and Gayà (26).

Bordalás will work during these first days and also next week at Oliva Nova Golf with 26 players. Of them, ten will play in the subsidiary (or in lower categories) next season. They are the cases of the goalkeeper Mamarshavili (20 years), the defenders Jesus Vazquez (18), Menargues (19) and Molina (twenty-one); midfielders Koba (19), Fran perez (18), Esquerdo (22) and Hugo Gonzalez (18); and the forwards Diego Lopez (19) and Alberto Marí (19).

Valencia negotiates the arrival of reinforcements in parallel to the exit operation. The name of Omar Alderete wins integers to become the first black and white reinforcement. At least that was confirmed by his own representative. Meanwhile, the club tries to find a destination for footballers such as Jason, Cheryshev, Diakhaby or Guedes, which continues to be the important sale that Valencia hopes to make in this summer market.
