RÉCORD, citing transfer reporter César Luis Merlo, reports both clubs have an agreement in place and that Valencia will travel to Mexico after authorizing the move. Mexican outlets describe the deal as imminent, though neither Pachuca nor Internacional has issued an official statement or disclosed financial details. This would mark a second stint for the 35-year-old at Pachuca, where he broke out in 2013–2014 before moves to West Ham, Everton, Tigres, Fenerbahçe and Internacional. Coverage frames the move as a late-window reinforcement for Jaime Lozano’s side following a recent dip in results, with added emphasis on leadership and finishing. Some reports mention a permanent transfer and a potential two-year contract with a fee reported above $1 million, details that remain unconfirmed.
