VALENCIA. Valencia are well advanced in the transfer of Javi Guerra to Atlético de Madrid. Although the midfielder’s departure towards other possible destinations – such as Real Sociedad or his Italian suitors – had lost momentum in recent days, lThe club’s strategy continues to be for Gilet to leave Mestalla this summer. Atlético’s offer, as reported Sports Tribune and this newspaper has been able to confirm, reaches 25 million euros plus a percentage of a future sale. And the agreement between clubs is closed.
It was this variable amount that the Valencia sports management was pursuing and that had stopped the Guerra’s signing for Girona: a high percentage of a future transfer of the young footballer, 21 years old last spring, who is willing to take over at Atleti. It would be around 10% of that hypothetical amount that would arrive at the Metropolitano for Javi Guerra in the future.
Club-player agreement remains
The next screen to unlock is the agreement between Guerra, his entourage and Atletisomething that is not expected to be a problem. The Valencian would end up under the orders of the Cholo Simeone and Valencia would undertake the important sale that, at the beginning of the summer, had been set as imperative from Singapore. Then it was expected that these traditional transfers could be that of Mamardashvili -who is still awaiting his fate while Dmitrievski emerges as the best of the team’s poor preseason- and that of Christian MosqueraThe centre-back was the main candidate to reinforce the Atlético defence this transfer window, but the red-and-whites have already strengthened their position in that position with the arrival of Le Normand.
Either way, Guerra’s transfer would unblock Bryan Zaragoza’s loan at Mestalla. Valencia has the green light from the Malaga player himself and Bayern Munich to play a season on the banks of the Turia, but not yet Peter Lim’sFrom Singapore they point to the need for the departure of footballers to give the ‘ok’ to a loan in which, in addition, Bayern would assume a large part of the winger’s salarywhich is around 3.5 million euros net since signing with Bavaria last February.
Guerra’s transfer to Atlético could be the one that frees the former Granada playerwho today wants to play for Valencia, but would also greatly weaken the midfield of Deck of cards and would force the signing of a midfield player. And there, one of the options that Miguel Ángel Corona is considering is that of the Levante player Paul Martinezwho is waiting for convincing and reliable offers from clubs that have him on their agenda. Valladolid, according to sources in Pucela, is the latest to knock on Levante’s door for the Madrid native. Felipe Miñambres wants to include, like Valencia with Javi Guerra, a percentage of future sales.
