LaLiga wonderkid ’ Javi Guerra is placed under watch with £87 release clause

The 20-year-old Valencia ace is garnering attention across Europe and has now seemingly caught the attention of the Premier League duo.

Guerra joined Valencia’s academy in 2019 from rival club Villarreal.

In 2021, he signed his first professional contract for the club until 2024 – but recently extended the deal to 2027.

He made his LaLiga debut in April earlier this year in the team’s 2-0 defeat against Sevilla.

In Valencia’s first game of this season, a big moment involving the youngster came when he was sent on by Ruben Baraja and grabbed a late winner away to Sevilla.

The midfielder has been in red-hot this term scoring three goals in six appearances for Baraja’s side.

According to Marca via Football Espana, scouts from both Man Utd and Newcastle attend every match the youngster plays in.

It is easy to see why both Premier League clubs are interested as he would be an upgrade on the likes of Scott McTominay and Sean Longstaff going forward.

But Guerra has an £87m release clause and has another four years left on his contract.

Guerra’s release clause will unlikely be met but the English clubs will work their magic to bring Valencia to the negotiation table.

The report also claims Valencia are already considering raising his wage.

It is uncertain whether either Premier League side will make a move for the Spaniard.

However, it will not be long until other European giants join the Guerra fan club.
