Mundo Deportivo reports on José Copete's impending transfer to Valencia. José Copete has not trained with the rest of his teammates as he is close to transferring to Valencia. He missed a friendly match against Sant Andreu and is expected not to travel with the team to Austria for a training camp. Negotiations are underway for him to join Valencia for the next season.

According to Marca, negotiations are ongoing between Valencia and Mallorca over the transfer of central defender José Manuel Arias Copete. Valencia has shown interest in acquiring Copete and has already made a proposal to Mallorca. Copete is under contract with Mallorca until 2026, and the club has set his valuation at 4 million euros. Valencia's initial offer was 2 million euros, which Mallorca deemed insufficient. Copete reportedly wants to leave Mallorca following discussions with Corberán, as he has found it difficult to secure a starting position. Valencia considers him an important addition due to his physical presence and left-footed ability. Despite Copete's interest in departing, Mallorca remains firm on their valuation, particularly in light of recent player sales.

Valencia is interested in signing José Copete from Mallorca, whose contract runs until 2026 with a 4 million euro asking price. Valencia plans to negotiate the price, leveraging funds from recent player sales, as they see Copete as a good fit for their squad. However, they face competition from other clubs interested in the player. Copete, turning 26 in October, has played 70 LaLiga matches and is seen as a valuable addition to Valencia's defense due to his experience and affordable salary.
