Atlético de Madrid closely follows the development of Javi Guerra, one of the most promising midfielders in Spanish soccer. The Valencia CF player was on the rojiblanco radar last summer, but he ultimately renewed with the ché team until 2027, with a clause of 100M euros. However, his future remains uncertain, and recently his father has spoken about the conditions for the midfielder to leave the club.
Atlético de Madrid Follows Javi Guerra Closely
Atlético has been looking for reinforcements for the midfield for some time, and Javi Guerra is a profile that fits perfectly into Diego Simeone's plans. Despite the fact that in the last transfer market the rojiblanco club opted to secure the signing of Gallagher, the name of the Valencia player remains very present.
This season, Guerra didn't start with the expected prominence under the command of Rubén Baraja, but since the arrival of Carlos Corberán to the bench, his situation has changed. Now, the young midfielder has become a regular in the starting eleven and has regained confidence. In total, he has accumulated 1,764 minutes in LaLiga, with 1 goal and 3 assists, showing a clear evolution in his game.
Javi Guerra's Father's Words
Javi Guerra's father, a former player and coach, spoke about his son's future in an interview with Radio MARCA Valencia. "It's not the same for it to happen to you at 28 years old as it is at 21. You've only been in the top category for a year, and it's not easy to handle. He said it, he will leave if they want him to leave, not because of him," he stated.
The midfielder feels comfortable at Valencia and, according to his surroundings, would only consider leaving if the club decides to sell him. "He said it clearly: 'Here in Valencia, I'm fine. If they want to sell me, they will be the ones to sell me, not because I want to leave,'" his father emphasized.
Atlético de Madrid, Attentive to Valencia's Decision
Despite Javi Guerra having no intention of forcing his departure, the reality is that Atlético closely follows his development and could make a move again. Everything will depend on Valencia's stance, a club with economic problems that might welcome a transfer if an interesting offer comes in.
Simeone has already shown that he likes to have young players with room for growth, and Javi Guerra fits his profile of an all-around footballer, with quality, arrival, and physical deployment. For now, Atlético remains on standby, but if Valencia gives the green light, there could be movements in the summer.
