Valencia have been busy within the switch market this summer season, notably with regard to gamers leaving the membership. Yarek Gasiorowski has already left, Cristhian Mosquera will quickly depart too, and a now third central defender might be on their manner out.
Not too long ago, PSV Eindhoven confirmed the signing of Yarek, whose sale has generated €9.5m for Valencia. And an additional €15m plus add-ons will quickly arrive from Arsenal, who’re closing in on the signing of Cristhian Mosquera.
These departures will depart Valencia head coach Carlos Corberan with Mouctar Diakhaby and Cesar Tarrega as his solely assured centre-back choices for the 2025-26 season, however the latter might now be on his manner out too.
As reported by Sky Sports activities’ Keith Downie, Newcastle United have added Tarrega to a three-man shortlist of central defensive targets, alongside Juventus’ Nicolo Savona and Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini.
Tarrega, who is just 23 years of age, has been anticipated to step up following the departures of Yarek and Mosquera – notably the latter. He was a daily starter for Valencia final season with 38 appearances made throughout all competitions, and he has the prospect to become a frontrunner for Los Che.
It received’t be simple for Newcastle to signal Tarrega
A transfer to Newcastle would finish this, though it could be one thing of a shock if he had been to be allowed to depart. Regardless of their well-documented monetary woes, Valencia would solely have Diakhaby as a recognised centre-back if Tarrega leaves, which means that Los Che will possible demand a major payment to permit a sale to happen.
Valencia even have Eray Comert and Cenk Ozkacar as central defenders in Corberan’s squad, though it has been anticipated that they won’t be counted on for the longer term, as was the case final season. Nonetheless, they may find yourself staying if Tarrega had been to depart earlier than the top of the summer season.
