There is some discontent at Valencia CF with the Javi Guerra operation, which has been put on hold for the moment. The red-and-whites had a clear roadmap and were betting on Conor Gallagher , who was to be the key piece for the midfield. For the arrival of Julián Álvarez , it was necessary to finalise the operation of the English footballer for an economic reason.
The Blues will pay for the signing of Samu Omorodion , and that money allows the Colchoneros to cover the expense of Julian Alvarez . Conor , in addition, joins a team that wants to rebuild with its youth. Recommended by Kieran Trippier , the Englishman intervened in the case of his teammate and helped attract him to Cívitas Metropolitano .
Corona: Gil Marín asked us for forgiveness
Miguel Ángel Corona , the sporting director of Valencia CF , has explained in a press conference that Gil Marín has asked them for forgiveness. He has given them his explanations and has told them that, for the moment, the operation on Javi Guerra cannot be carried out. For the red-and-whites, it is a priority to make exits before being able to resume the Valencian player.
Corona explained: "Miguel Ángel Gil apologized to us yesterday, there was an agreement with Javi Guerra and he told us that they couldn't keep it," he explained. "We even asked the club about the information that Gallagher could come and what was going to happen with Javi," Corona said. Now the situation seems clear: Javi Guerra is staying at Valencia and the operation is not going ahead.
Atlético 's idea is that, if other players leave, they can fulfil the agreement with Peter Lim and incorporate the Spanish midfielder. But for that to happen, there needs to be more departures from the team, and they are not easy. Many are targeted for these departures, although they will only really let players go if those who come are up to the task or are proven.
Javi Guerra on the radar of Real Sociedad and Girona
Javi Guerra has had several offers this summer, both from Spain and the Premier League . Girona and Real Sociedad are two of the clubs that have had talks with his closest entourage. Two interesting clubs, but they do not convince the player in terms of sporting potential as Atlético de Madrid does.
Arthur Vermeeren was offered to Valencia during the negotiations for Guerra ; at least, they tried to find out if he was viable on the part of Atlético . The "che" have not responded positively; they understand that he is a good player, but they do not want the story of Samu Lino to be repeated. The Belgian does not want to be out for another six months, and understands that he needs minutes to continue growing.
Gallagher "closes" the door on Vermeeren
With the arrival of Conor Gallagher , added to the permanence of Pablo Barrios , things would become more complicated for Vermeeren . The club is not closing in on his departure, as long as they can replace him with an important player. Otherwise, the idea is for him to continue learning from Simeone, from the team and from the country, a country to which he still has to adapt better.
The Brazilian spent one season at Mestalla , captivating his fans and first Gattuso and then Rubén Baraja . The Valladolid native saw his continuity clearly, although the plans of the Colchonero club were completely different. Samu Lino has returned to the club to become a very important player under Diego Pablo Simeone .
