Valencia CF is exploring its reinforcement options for next season, and one of the names that is buzzing is Sergi Darder, currently in the ranks of RCD Mallorca. This interest is awakened amid the uncertainty surrounding the future of Javi Guerra, who could be sold in the coming months, according to Todo Fichajes.
The current season has left some doubts in Valencia’s midfield, and the performance of Daniel Almeida, a star signing of the last transfer market, has not completely convinced coach Rubén Baraja. In this context, Sergi Darder is presented as an attractive alternative to occupy that position and provide solidity to the Valencian midfield.
The player that Valencia wants in case they sell Javi Guerra
Darder, who joined Mallorca from Espanyol, has shown his quality on the field throughout the season. However, it seems that his playing style does not completely fit with Aguirre’s tactical proposal in the Vermilion team, which tends to be more physical and defensive. This has limited his ability to showcase his outstanding skills, such as precise passing, game vision, and individual quality.
The possible departure of Javi Guerra could weaken Valencia’s midfield, so having a quality replacement becomes a priority. Darder, with a market value of approximately €8 million, is emerging as an option that the club could take on, especially if some departures are planned.
Valencia seeks not only to strengthen its squad but also to promote the development of young talents such as Diego López and Fran Pérez. Darder’s arrival would represent an effort to strengthen the midfield and provide an experienced and versatile alternative in the center of the park.
Negotiations are underway, and the outcome will depend on how the talks and the club’s exit strategies evolve. Valencia hopes to make the right decisions to ensure a competitive team next season.
