Valencia C.F: Renew or die

The disappointing transfer market has already closed and despite the fact that the capital of the Turia still the absence of new footballers resounds, time does not stop and the offices that must begin to look at the players of the first team. Today, the entity has 24 players of which twelve end their contract between next summer and 2022 and therefore time is short in terms of renewals.

The 'Ferran Torres' affair It was very bad for the board of directors who assumed that it was relatively late to address its renewal and that is something that they don't want it to happen again. Therefore, beyond footballers like Cheryshev or Jason on which a firm decision will have to be made, the extension of the contract of the pillars of the project how Gabriel, Wass or Kang In they begin to be necessary.

Urgent decisions

Beyond its greater or lesser relevance on the field of play, there are three names whose future separates from Valencia starting next June. From among Eliaquim Mangala, Kevin Gameiro and Álex BlancoPerhaps the first big decision to be made is about the latter. The youth squad has made a hole in the staff And although he has not yet been able to show off, at 21 years old it is too early to part with a player trained at home and who already plays in LaLiga for free. The club can extend the link for one more year, something that today seems the most logical.

With respect to the French, the operation Mangala it was an investment of Lim who hoped to earn income from him in the future. He has not left, he is still in the team and Gracia lined him up as a starter before get injured so either he will leave for free in June or the club will have to consider calling him. In the case of Gameiro, the forward could continue one more year in the entity if the club wishes it since it has one more optional season. That optional season, the club will have to enforce it if Kevin plays a certain number of games this year.

Key decisions

The summer period was not only frustrating for fans because of the lack of signings, but also because so much Gabriel as Wass and Gayà rejected the first renewal offer proposed by the club. From the high domes of Mestalla it was admitted a few weeks ago that se will improve the offer to all threeBut they didn't want to make any moves before the market concluded. Once done, the three – who they have already stated that they want to continue– expect that second attempt.

On the other hand is the matter Geoffrey kondogbia, who has Atlético de Madrid lurking in addition to other clubs in Europe. A little over a year and a half before their contract expires, the club now weighs whether sell him in the next windows in which the trading position will not be strong, try to renew him, something difficult given his high cache or stay the footballer until contract is concluded. For now, whoever wants to sign him must pay the clause.

A separate case is that of Kang in lee, the crown jewel for Meriton who contract ends in 2022. Football player its continuity is not clear at all despite the fact that the economic issues are closed by both parties. The club insists that it is a matter of time before an extension of this link is signed, but today such a statement is more a wish than a reality.

Apart from those mentioned are Cristian Rivero and Yunus Musha. Both end in 2022 and with respect to Spanish, the club and especially Ochotorena, they have faith that he will end up becoming the goalkeeper of the first team. In the absence of minutes to prove their worth -He had it done with Málaga-, an assignment in the January window is not ruled out.
By Yunus the entity is patient. The club is clear that will offer the renewalHowever, they want to see exactly where he is after his premature explosion at 17, to propose a suitable new contract.

Continuity or end of cycle

Finally there are various footballers whose continuity is far from defined. Cheryshev contract concludes at the end of 2022 and this summer the club already tried to cash, but he was always clear that he wanted to stay in the team. Similar situation happens with Nephew for whom teams like Osasuna, Granada or Eibar They showed interest, but this declined due to their willingness to continue, according to club sources.

And to conclude is Jason Remeseiro who has this year the opportunity to gain a foothold in the team, in fact Gracia is giving continuity to his minutes on the green and neither party is in a rush.
