Valencia Club de Fútbol starts the 2026-27 preseason on Thursday, July 2, with several new faces. The case of Guido Rodríguez is the one that now seems closest to being finalized in an agreement for the next three seasons.
Who are the reinforcements?
Valencia Club de Fútbol has signed Aliou Dieng, a Malian international midfielder, in a deal that has already been formalized at no cost. The 28-year-old player signed for three seasons after months of contacts that ended with the player signing a contract that starts on July 1.
What is Corberán's strategy?
The incorporation of Guido Rodríguez responds to the need to provide the team with a physical and positional profile in the center of the field. Valencia Club de Fútbol has also signed Justin de Haas, a 26-year-old Dutch central defender, and Ryunosuke Sato, a 19-year-old Japanese attacker, is one step away from becoming a new player for Valencia Club de Fútbol.
