Valencia prepares for Kondogbia's possible departure

The Valencia has decided to cover its back. Although the idea of facilitating his departure is not on his mind, the Spanish club knows that if Guangzhou Evergrande continues to pressure and opens its wallet, Geoffrey Kondogbia's permanence could be in serious danger. Therefore, it is advisable to have in mind a new midfielder who can take his place if necessary.

Valencia turns to Joao Mario

According to the Portuguese newspaper O Jogo and reported by As, if that scenario arises, the Valencia board would cast their net on a player who has been linked numerous times with the Valencia team, Portuguese player Joao Mario (24 years old).

Slightly different profile

Logically, the profile of the current Inter Milan player is much more offensive and creative than Kondogbia's, but it seems clear that after recruiting combative Francis Coquelin, the team from the capital of Turia no longer consider it necessary for the replacement player to perform such an exhaustive defensive job.

A not so complicated negotiation

If Valencia seriously considers his signing, the negotiation with Inter should not be very complicated. Inter has long stopped trusting the Portuguese player and therefore they would be delighted to receive an offer for a player who has only started in five Serie A matches this season and has been attempted to be exchanged for various players such as Ángel Correa or Franco Vázquez.
