Valencia CF has activated an alternative after difficulties in signing Arnau Martínez, aligning with Spanish-Argentine full-back Maffeo on loan. The player, who recently left Mallorca, returns to LaLiga after a brief stint in Greece. His arrival aims to add experience and solutions to a squad needing reinforcements in his position. Maffeo, with over 200 LaLiga appearances, will stand out for his intensity, fight, and willingness to sacrifice, qualities Valencia hopes to leverage immediately. The club continues pursuing Arnau Martínez's signing, which could alter the scenario. In a four-defender system, the Catalan could be the main candidate for the starting XI, pushing Maffeo to the bench. If Corberán opts for a five-defender system, both could feature: Maffeo as a wing-back and Arnau on the right side of the defensive line. The Argentine's versatility becomes a key piece to solve a problem, though his role will depend on future transfer market moves and the coach's system.
