Presence of Pablo Longoria in Paterna
The new member of Valencia's sports structure is beginning to pull the strings and recommend possible additions to the club, which does the same to gauge the willingness of these scouted players to join the Mestalla team.
Among these cases, and as announced by Súper Deporte, there would be the case of Boubakary Soumaré, a midfielder from Lille who stands out in the French youth teams and emerged from PSG's youth academy, representing one of the leaks that have become customary in the Parisian subsidiary. This season, the player has made 15 appearances in Ligue 1 and the two national cups.
With conditions that could bear great resemblance to those of Geoffrey Kondogbia, both in ball handling and in his ability to protect it due to his build, Valencia wants to take advantage of his immaturity to capture him and allow him to fully develop his skills under their wing. At just 19 years old, the player has generated an attractive interest that has caught the attention of teams like Manchester City.
To get ahead of any competitors, Pablo Longoria has already met with the player's representative, Jonathan Kebe, who made an appearance in Paterna and where the options for him to join the Valencia team were explored, evaluating the possible variables that could lead him to commit to the white and black team before the next summer. His advantage lies in the position of the French club in the table, which could be relegated if they continue in the same negative line as before.
