Manchester United want to land Spanish midfielder Javi Guerra from Valencia.
Midfielder Javi Guerra Set for United Move Amid Rebuild Plans
**Manchester Utd**’s transfer activity is picking up pace. They continue to reshape the squad after a poor season.
Following the arrivals of Matheus Cunha and youngster Diego Leon, the club has turned its focus to Valencia’s Javi Guerra. The Spanish midfielder has a reported £87m release clause. Although, it remains unclear whether Utd will match that full figure.
The 22-year-old has caught the eye with his standout performances in La Liga. Journalist Daniele Longo claims the Red Devils are now closing in on his signature. Guerra could be the next key piece in Man Utd’s fresh project. He already has 82 La Liga games under his belt at just 22 years of age.
Last season, he was key to Valencia’s play at the heart of their midfield. His contributions eased the difficulty of navigating relegation troubles. He helped the Spanish side come over from relegation threat to stability in the middle of the league table.
Meanwhile at Old Trafford, Christian Eriksen has departed, and Casemiro at the end of an top career. So, United clearly want a long-term engine in the midfield.
Young talent fits into Amorim’s framework
Ruben Amorim’s first summer is proving to be decisive. Guerra seems to match with what United needs. He is young, proven at the highest level, and who can step into a key role. As Utd explore the globe for the best talents, they also need players that can contribute from day one. Guerra offers both experience and potential.
If the deal goes through at a price lower than his release clause, it could be a smart bit of business for the Red Devils. Bringing in the Spaniard would strengthen the midfield. Additionally, he will also align perfectly with Amorim’s long-term vision. The head coach wants a team with building a high-energy, a youthful squad capable of challenging for major honours.
