Gil Marin and Barajas

Confirmed: Gil Marín calls Valencia and gives Rubén Baraja a signing

The Valencian coach receives a gift from Atlético de Madrid to strengthen his squad

Surprise at Atlético de Madrid : an unexpected last-minute departure, especially given the destination he is headed to. Germán Valera terminates his contract with the club from Madrid and signs for Valencia Club de Fútbol . Los Che are aiming to sign the extrem from Murcia, who is already in the city of Turia to undergo a medical and sign his contract with the black and whites.

Germán Valera leaves Atlético de Madrid after arriving from Villarreal Club de Fútbol as a child . He made his debut with Atlético's first team at the Civitas Metropolitano against Levante UD . He took part in many training sessions and was called up several times under Diego Pablo Simeone, but he never really caught the eye.

He will now try his luck with Rubén Baraja , a coach who usually bets on young talent, and will join the likes of Javi Guerra . The midfielder could have made the opposite journey and joined Atlético de Madrid this summer, but the chosen one was Conor Gallagher . The operation of João Félix made the Englishman leave Chelsea to sign for the team coached by Diego Simeone .

Germán Valera signed a contract with Atlético de Madrid during the negotiations for Rodrigo Hernández Cascante . Something that deeply irritated Villarreal , the club that owned his services. The relations between the two entities were seriously strained, so much so that for years there were not even meals between the clubs.

Even Fernando Roig launched a public message attacking the club at Madrid for the departure of Germán Valera . The differences were resolved and this summer they negotiated again for a player, in this case Alexander Sørloth . The Norwegian striker was the one chosen by the club at Madrid after the departure of Álvaro Morata to Italian football.

Eder Sarabia is left without his desired signing

Now, with the arrival of Germán Valera to Valencia , another of the players that Diego Simeone has not counted on much is leaving. Eder Sarabia tried to bring him to Elche and he was very, very advanced, with its proximity to Murcia as a great incentive. A team that would fight for promotion and a coach he knows from his time at Andorra .

He has not been able to reach an agreement with Atlético , and finally the Murcian decided to terminate his contract with the red and whites. Being a free agent, a very interesting option appeared in the form of Valencia CF , and he will finally have his chance in the First Division . Miguel Ángel Corona is betting on the former Villarreal, Andorra and Real Zaragoza player; Atlético will not see a euro for his departure.

The footballer from Murcia will be announced in the next few hours as a new signing for Valencia ; he has already signed his contract until 2027. He is a player with exceptional qualities and who, with Rubén Baraja , dreams of making that jump up a category again. He was already an international in the lower categories of the Spanish national team.
