Germán Valera Transfer from Valencia to Elche
Elche has completed the permanent signing of German Valera, who has signed a contract until June 2027, with an option for an additional season. Valera had an impressive loan spell at Elche, contributing with 16 appearances, 3 goals, and 3 assists, including a decisive goal against Deportivo La Coruña. The club is enthusiastic about his stay, highlighting his professionalism, talent, and dedication.
Germán Valera is set to become the first signing for Elche in La Liga, according to Diario AS. The winger has been on loan at Elche from Valencia for the last six months and will continue at the club under coach Eder Sarabia, now as a full-time player. He is expected to sever ties with Valencia in the coming hours and will negotiate as a free agent, meaning he will join Elche at no cost. Atlético de Madrid still retains 25% of his rights from when he was transferred to Valencia.
Mundo Deportivo reports on Elche's interest in securing Germán Valera's future with the club. Elche is considering negotiating the continuation of Germán Valera and is even contemplating paying a transfer fee.
The transfer of Germán Valera to Elche appears to be nearly confirmed since last week, pending final approval from Elche. Valencia is interested in loaning him during the winter with an option to purchase in the summer for approximately 100,000 euros. Valera, who initially moved from Atlético de Madrid to Valencia at no cost, is inclined towards Elche due to limited playing opportunities at Valencia, despite Arouca's interest in him. The transfer was initially planned as Valera was en route to Elche's stadium, Martínez Valero, but the situation changed at the last moment of the transfer window. Valencia aims to manage their wage bill by transferring him, and following discussions, a loan agreement with a summer purchase option seems to be the solution they have settled on.
