The Valencia CF has announced the addition, on loan, of Jaume Costa for the 2019-2020 season
In this way, the white and black team reinforces the left back position, where they have one of the best full-backs in LaLiga Santander: José Luis Gayà. However, the departure of Toni Lato to PSV Eindhoven forced to strengthen that area of the field.
Costa, 31 years old, has shown clear signs of the potential he possesses during the seasons he has been defending the Villarreal CF jersey. It must be recognized that it is one of the most surprising movements of the market, especially because it occurred through a loan. Even so, the defender will compete side by side with Gayà to earn a place in Marcelino García Toral's scheme.
Valencia is expected to be a strong candidate, at least, to complicate things for FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid in the domestic championship. However, the priority objective of the entity from the capital of Turia will be to secure the fourth place that guarantees the Champions League. Will they be able to give their fans a new joy like with the Copa del Rey?
On the other hand, Jaume Costa changes the yellow team for the che squad. He is a reinforcement guarantee for Valencia's defensive mechanism, where he will do everything possible to fit in from the beginning under Marcelino's tutelage. Experience and a long career are several of the strong points for his introduction. How will he settle into his new dressing room?
