🤝 Valencia tie up new right-back to replace Foulquier! | OneFootball

Valencia already has a closed agreement for Renzo Saravia to become a new player for the black and white team.

According to Héctor Gómez from Tribuna Deportiva, the Argentine right-back will arrive in the capital of Turia with a contract that ties him to the club until June 2026, a lightning operation aimed at providing an immediate solution to the shortcomings in Carlos Corberán's scheme.

Saravia's arrival is due to the serious injury of Dimitri Foulquier, who will miss the rest of the season, leaving a critical gap on the right flank that the sports management had to patch up outside the conventional market.

The club has taken advantage of the regulation that allows registering a free player to cover a long-term absence, also using that 40% margin of the injured player's salary cost to fit the Argentine's salary.

Renzo Saravia's profile fits what the coaching staff was looking for: a full-back with international experience and a more offensive style than the Frenchman's. The former Atlético Mineiro and Botafogo player, who was without a team after finishing his stint in Brazil, sees Valencia as a golden opportunity to return to Europe and prove that his 32 years are not an impediment to performing at the elite level. His previous stint at Porto gives him that knowledge of European football that Corberán values so much for a seamless adaptation.

Additionally, they announced today the renewal of Cristian Rivero.
