Overview

• Javi Guerra has under two years remaining on his Valencia contract and has turned down a renewal offer as he enters advanced negotiations with Manchester United.
• United must structure a transfer package near £25 million to meet Valencia’s £18 million valuation plus Villarreal’s 30% third-party ownership share.
• Although reports suggest a verbal agreement is in place, no formal bid has been lodged and fee finalisation must align with Financial Fair Play requirements.
• AC Milan continues to monitor Guerra’s situation while United aim to reinforce a midfield depleted by recent departures.
• Guerra’s absence from Valencia’s recent pre-season draw likely reflects extra rest granted after his Spain U21 European Championship campaign.
