Valencia eye another Uruguayan to strengthen the squad | OneFootball

Valencia CF has intensified negotiations with Nicolás Fonseca, Uruguayan midfielder of Club León, as the main candidate to fill the vacancy left by Enzo Barrenechea.

Fonseca, 26, has an Italian passport and comes onto the European radar after his good performance in Liga MX and his previous stint at River Plate. He has the approval of Carlos Corberán and Marcelo Bielsa, the Uruguayan national team coach, who gave him his debut with the national team in 2024.

Although the club's first offer, close to 2 million euros, was rejected, Valencia is already preparing a new proposal around 5 million. The planned contract would be for five seasons, betting on his projection and versatility in the center of the field.
