Everything indicates that Valencia will strengthen their attack in the next winter transfer market. According to Deporte Valenciano, the doubt about Simone Zaza's knee could convince the club to want him to undergo surgery and anticipate any future setbacks, which would leave Marcelino García Toral's squad with only two forwards during the Italian's absence, estimated at around two months.
Valencia's number 9 has become a clear reference for the team, and despite the good performances of Rodrigo Moreno and Santi Mina, the Italian has shown that they are the leading attacking partners, where he has scored 9 goals so far, being the top scorer for Valencia. However, the decision to undergo surgery could be delayed until next month, as long as his condition holds up, and that would give the club time to consider signing a new player.
A few weeks ago, it seemed that Valencia would not go to the winter market to improve their attack and would rely on their trio of attackers throughout the season. However, Zaza's setback has forced the sports management to change their plans.
The names on the agenda
There have been several players linked to Valencia to reinforce their attack. The latest player strongly linked to the team is Sandro Ramírez, whose playing time at Everton is scarce. The only drawback with the former Málaga forward would be his high salary.
Other options that are also on the list are Luan Vieira, who recently renewed his contract with Gremio but with the intention of leaving and leaving a sum of money to the Brazilian club, and Luciano Vietto, who plays with the mobility that Marcelino likes and who has already been coached by him. Vietto is not in the plans of Atlético Madrid, who will add Vitolo Machín and Diego Costa to their available players. These are just a few names on a list that will surely have more potential targets.
