Manchester United and Newcastle are reportedly monitoring Valencia’s youngster Javi Guerra in anticipation of a transfer. Valencia is considering increasing his salary, despite the fact that he is under contract until 2027 and has a €100 million buyout clause. He has represented Spain at the Under-21 level.

Many promising young players have emerged for Valencia in La Liga in recent months, but none more so than Javi Guerra, widely considered one of the most talented to emerge from the club’s academy in recent years.

His first professional game was in the Copa del Rey for Valencia in January 2022, although his La Liga debut didn’t come until April 2023, with new manager Ruben Baraja.

In his final 10 games of the previous season, he contributed significantly, including a game-winning goal from beyond the box in stoppage time against Real Valladolid. With three goals and an assist in four games, he is off to a strong start this season and has emerged as a key player for Los Che in La Liga.

The 20-year-old’s penchant for dominating the ball and passing it around the field has earned him praise. He is also technically proficient, with the ability to dribble the ball and score from long range.

The rest of Europe has taken notice of his brilliant play, with reports claiming that clubs like Manchester United and Newcastle are keeping tabs on him and watching “every game.”

Manchester United, for one, have gotten off to a shaky start, and many fans blame the team’s aging midfield duo of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro.

After a spectacular first season in Red, Casemiro has gotten off to a “really poor start” this year. His struggles have coincided with Eriksen’s declining performance, and the two may be showing worrying signs of not being able to physically compete at the highest level, which is especially concerning for a United team that is attempting to play with a lot of intensity.

In the upcoming transfer window, it would not be to see United make a move for a young, technically gifted, flexible, and energetic central midfielder. And Guerra, from Valencia, meets all those criteria admirably.

Key midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is close to signing a new long-term contract with Newcastle, but that deal might include a release clause of over £100 million, which is extremely doable in today’s crazily inflated market.

Despite denial, many Tynesiders expect to lose their prized possession to a major European powerhouse in the future and are planning accordingly by preparing a successor. Therefore, Guerra’s tempo-setting skills make him a potential candidate for the holding role.
