Valencia Club de Fútbol has offered José Luis Gayà a salary six times lower than his current one. The player is out of contract this season and the extension of his contract was one of the hot topics that Gourlay and Corberán had to address in this market. Until now, there had been no serious contacts between the parties that the player wanted to stay and the club that wanted to keep him. The player was assuming a reduction in his current salary of six million euros per season, but he did not expect a proposal that was not considered a proposal. The club has passed on to Gayà the option of signing two more seasons of contract for one million euros per campaign. Six times less than what he earns currently. In addition, the same includes the possibility of deferring the salary of this season for three years to open up space in the financial fair play of the squad. Obviously, the drastic reduction is not considered by the player. Those amounts will not be accepted and in fact, there is a sense in the atmosphere that the club does not have too many chances of keeping Gayà. Players are not eternal, but the treatment received by sending this proposal to the captain of the team leaves much to be desired and can generate a complicated situation just four days before the new season starts. Valencia Club de Fútbol is in a delicate position after the end of the 2024-2025 season, in which it finished in 14th place in La Liga with 35 points, 9 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses in 31 games. The 2025-2026 season is approaching and the club must make important decisions to improve its performance in the competition. The team has been working on the search for new players and on the renewal of the contracts of those who are already in the squad. However, the proposal of a lower salary to Gayà has generated concern in the team's atmosphere and among the fans. Valencia Club de Fútbol needs to find a solution to keep its best players and improve its performance in the competition. The 2025-2026 season is approaching and the club must make important decisions to ensure its future in La Liga.
