The Valencia It has in Hugo Guillamón a puzzle that is both a problem and a solution. With a contract that ends on June 30, his ‘ownership’ this week in the center of the rear with Gabriel Paulista in the first ‘eleven’ that Albert Celades has proven has put the spotlight on the young central defender.
At the moment, as confirmed by Mundo Deportivo, there is an agreement for Guillamón train and play with the first team beyond that date and do it until the season ends in mid-July if the coach wants it. Everything indicates that you may need it because only Paulista He has a 'fixed' site and the accumulation of games can make him not even play them all.
Garay He is still in the dry dock after his knee operation and after his public disagreement with the club is ruled out that he will play. Doubts about Eliaquim's physical endurance Mangala They have not dissipated, since he returned to the club last summer after a year and a half without playing due to an injury to the same joint, he has hardly played. To finish, Mouctar Diakhaby, who started as the third central defender, left many doubts in the last month of competition.
With this panorama, Guillamón you may have your choice. International with the lower categories and a key piece in the sub-17 team that conquered the World Cup three years ago and the European one less than one, is a defender who shines in the ball but who, with his 182 centimeters, remains low in comparison to the other Valencia centrals.
But the plague of injuries that plagued the squad at the start of 2020 meant that Celades made him debut in First in the Real Sociedad field. The ex-Barça's taste for good ball handling makes him look favorably on the Valencian touch.
Pending to renew
The arrival at the sports management of Cesar Sánchez He made Valencia present him with a first renewal offer a while ago, but far from Guillamón's expectations.
Despite being able to sign for any team since January 1, the defender wants to wait to see if there is a second proposal from the Mestalla club, an option that is gaining strength in the face of the possibility that he will play in this final stretch of the League and with a summer of 'emergency' due to the situation that the coronavirus has created.
