André Almeida weighs Swansea loan as Valencia push for sale | OneFootball

For the second summer running, Valencia want André Almeida to accept a move, with Swansea City now their preferred option. The decision again rests with the player.

According to Superdeporte, the midfielder has become more receptive after hesitating when the offer arrived, yet he would rather leave on loan than in a permanent transfer. He is understood to see a loan as a chance to boost his value and reassess next summer, though he is not ruling out other outcomes.

A proposed switch to Türkiye collapsed last year when he declined to sign for Trabzonspor.

Moving to the Welsh side would mean a step down to the Championship, the English second tier with strong finances. For the Portuguese, the challenge would be to turn a short-term step back into future progress.

Valencia had been seeking a sale to raise funds for other deals, whereas a loan would mainly free up his wages for signings. The club must now choose whether to accept a loan and aim to revalue the player or to keep pursuing a definitive exit.
