Overview

• Valencia announced the renewal on its official channels, adding one year to his deal to run through June 2029.
• Local reporting states the new contract raises his salary after he had been among the squad’s lower earners.
• Interest from Turkey during the summer window did not produce bids that matched Valencia’s valuation.
• The 25-year-old has played 96 official matches since joining from Vitória Guimarães in 2022 across LaLiga, Copa del Rey and Supercopa.
• Almeida called the extension a reward that motivates further improvement, and the club presents him as a long-term midfield option under Carlos Corberán.
