Maturity for CorberĂĄn's Scheme

The addition of NĂșñez is a strategic request from coach Carlos CorberĂĄn. The center-back is notable for his versatility, being able to perform reliably in either position in the center of defense.

With this signing, the Mestalla club adds a player in full professional maturity and with immediate competitive rhythm. The defender is expected to join training sessions immediately to help the team in the demanding final stretch of the 2026 season.
