Almeida waits on Valencia exit as Celta push for loan | OneFootball

Valencia face a race against time to settle Almeida's future before the window shuts at 23.59 tomorrow, with the Portuguese not in Carlos Corberán's plans and keen to leave.

According to AS, the club are willing to let him go, but not at any price, and he turned down an offer from Swansea because he did not want to play in England.

He wants to remain in the Spanish league and has identified Celta as his preference. The Galician side have approached Valencia over a loan, but their proposal does not meet Mestalla's demands. Valencia also need departures to bring players in.

Almeida trained this morning at the Ciudad Deportiva de Paterna while he waits for a resolution, with his future appearing to lie away from Valencia. Corberán left him out of the travelling squad for the trip to A Coruña.

Time will tell, but the No 10 seems close to the end of his spell at Mestalla, which is the hope of many. If no move materialises, he will remain in the first team and could face a season similar to Dani Raba's last year.
