The offensive proposal of Valencia

The offensive proposal of Valencia is going to undergo a slight change for the next season, where it will definitely lose the presence of Lucianto Vietto, for whom the club does not intend to pay a single cent to Atlético de Madrid to keep him in their ranks. The Argentine was Marcelino García Toral's bet, and for once since his arrival, it has not worked out, so it will leave a vacant position in the forward line.

Possible departures and potential reinforcements

While the possible departure of Rodrigo Moreno is not being considered at all, and the departure of Santi Mina would have to involve a significant amount of money, Simone Zaza is the other member of the attack who could leave the club, although there has been no signal so far that could give any clues in this regard.

The return of Portu as a cost-effective option

With this in mind and among the most cost-effective possibilities, Valencia has considered the return of a former youth player as one of their possible reinforcements since last summer, an option that has gained weight due to the performance he has shown away from Valencia. This is the case of Cristian Portugués 'Portu', who is standing out in his second year at Girona as a key player for the team, and whose lucrative release clause is valued at €12M.

Valencia's interest in Portu

As indicated by Deporte Valenciano, the player continues to be among Valencia's options, who must consider whether to make the effort to bring back someone who was once part of their youth categories and even made his debut with the first team. Portu would fit in as a new member of the offensive sector, where he would play with a profile, by nature, somewhat similar to that of the Spanish-Brazilian.
