Manchester United and Arsenal can sign teenage midfield target Javi Guerra from Valencia for less than €30 million in the summer.
According to Team Talk, Valencia could sell teenage midfielder Javi Guerra for less than €30 million ahead of the summer. The news would be music to the ears of Arsenal and Manchester United, who are keen to bolster their midfield and are also considering the Spaniard as a potential option.
Valencia to sell Javi Guerra on the cheap?
Valencia fans will have been relieved at their team’s position in the La Liga standings, which currently sees them finishing in the top half. However, over the last few seasons, they have struggled and been in relegation battles. During this period, they have constantly relied on some of their young stars, especially those coming out of their academy.
Javi Guerra is one of their latest sensations, although the midfielder has been playing regularly for two seasons now. This term, he has made 39 appearances in all competitions and plays in a move-boc-to-box role for the club, which has enticed many top teams towards his signature.
Surprisingly, Valencia is reportedly willing to sell him on the cheap and forget about the existing €100 million release clause in his contract. Los Che is seemingly open to letting him leave for less than €30 million, as this news will be music to the ears of some of his suitors, including Manchester United and Arsenal.
Arsenal Manchester United are vying for Javi Guerra
Mikel Arteta has held an interest in Guerra since February and could look closely now that Valencia has reportedly dropped his asking price. The upcoming summer window is particularly important for Arsenal, as they will look to sign not only a few stars but also those who will improve their current squad.
A young midfielder might be on their agenda, but essentially, Arteta might prefer to spend on a proven star. Frenkie de Jong remains linked and is very similar to Guerra’s profile, albeit expensive. Similarly, Manchester United are also vying for key signings and would want more stars to come into their midfield during the summer.
The Red Devils have an emerging midfielder in Kobie Mainoo, and someone like Guerra would complement him ahead of the new season. At the price the teenage midfield target has been mooted about, Manchester United might look to approach.
