Overview

• Manchester United have reportedly reached agreement in principle to sign Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra for just over £21 million.
• The 22-year-old Spaniard made 38 appearances last season, including 31 La Liga starts, contributing three goals and three assists.
• The move aligns with manager Ruben Amorim’s plan to refresh aging midfield options and fit his 3-4-3 formation.
• Missing out on Champions League football cut club revenues by around £100 million, pushing United to pursue cost-effective reinforcements within Profit and Sustainability rules.
• Valencia remain keen to extend Guerra’s contract through 2027 even as they prepare to cash in at his peak market value of €25 million.
