Julen Agirrezabala: a new face between the sticks for Valencia? | OneFootball

Valencia CF is looking to strengthen its goalkeeping position, and one of its candidates is Julen Agirrezabala, the promising goalkeeper from Athletic Club.

According to various media outlets, the player has already given his approval to the Valencia project.

Agirrezabala, 24, has shown his talent at San Mamés, but competition with Unai Simón has left him with few opportunities to shine. With a contract until 2027, Athletic is not willing to let him go without gaining some benefit.

In this scenario, according to 'As', Valencia could secure a loan with a mandatory purchase, although Athletic does not rule out a straightforward transfer.

The main obstacle now is financial, the complicated part of the negotiation since both Corberán and the goalkeeper find the new scenario appealing.

Despite Valencia's interest, other teams like Rayo Vallecano, Espanyol, and Celta de Vigo have shown interest in Agirrezabala, while Benfica and Sevilla also have him on their radar, according to 'Marca'.
