André Almeida, a 26-year-old Portuguese midfielder for Valencia, has rejected an offer from Swansea despite pressure from his current club to accept a move to the English second-division side. Valencia has a closed agreement with Swansea for a deal worth approximately €3.5 million, with a potential €2 million in variables contingent on promotion to the Premier League. However, the player is maintaining his position, preferring to wait for a more appealing option. Celta is interested in signing Almeida but first needs to complete several outgoing transfers, and it is reported that the midfielder is willing to wait to see if the transfer occurs. Almeida joined Valencia in August 2022 for €8.0M, and his contract is valid until 2029. It was reported in July 2026 that Valencia wanted over €8.2 million for the player. He has 15 caps for Portugal's U21 team, and his current market value is €6.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
