At Atlético de Madrid they slip that there is a priority for the midfield and his name is Conor Gallagher . The British footballer is hours away from being a new Colchonero player and the three-way operation with Julián Álvarez wearing red and white and with Samu Omorodion being sold to Chelsea .
In the case of Javi Guerra , the situation is as follows: he was sought as an alternative to Conor Gallagher and they want to incorporate him. But not under any price or under any conditions. This is what Valencia CF has been informed.
The black and white wanted to carry out the operation no matter what and at Atlético they did not want to make Peter Lim look bad, with whom there is a great relationship that has existed for many years.
Operation at risk
The background is also the great interest of the colchoneros in other Valencia Club de Fútbol players, one of them Giorgi Mamardashvili . Faced with growing doubts about the future of Jan Oblak , the Georgian always appears on the lists. According to Héctor Gómez , the Valencia journalist, the Ches have broken off the operation for Javi Guerra after seeing that Atlético changed the conditions.
The operation is temporarily ruled out and Javi Guerra returns to training this afternoon in Paterna. Rubén Baraja recovers the footballer, who has a contract with Valencia until 2027 with the Valencian entity.
Valencia does not want transfers
Sources close to the red and white club confirm to EstoesAtleti that they will not accept any type of pressure from anyone. The priority is to sign everything agreed by Conor Gallagher and see how to carry out the operation for Javi Guerra . It has been proposed that some Atlético player go on loan to Valencia CF , as is the case of Arthur Vermeeren .
Yesterday, the black and whites said they did not know anything about the possible arrival of the Belgian player, who is not of interest to them on loan. That is what they say from Mestalla , however, it could be necessary to close the operation for the Valencia player. Right now he is on standby, until the other movements requested by Diego Simeone are completed.
Simeone wants a left-footed center back
One of them is the left center back, the real headache for the Argentine coach of the rojiblanco club. David Hancko continues to be the favorite and the desired one, despite the fact that things are more than tense with his club . One last attempt will be made, improving the proposal in both the fixed and the variables.
Diego Pablo Simeone hopes that the new faces can be incorporated for the start of the League, on Monday the 19th in Villarreal . It will be when the rojiblancos begin a season that is expected to be exciting based on the movements that are being seen in this market.
