According to Marca, José Luis Gayá's future at Valencia is uncertain and he has never been closer to leaving. Gayá is approaching a potential end to his connection with the club. He renewed his contract with Valencia on October 19, 2022, for four more seasons until June 30, 2027, at a time when he was close to becoming a free agent. There is uncertainty about his future, and he will become a free agent in 72 days, on January 1, 2027. During Ron Gourlay's tenure, an approach was made to renew Gayá's contract, but the conditions offered were rejected for being too low. Under Braulio, the situation is under consideration, but no new step has yet been taken towards an agreement. Gayá has publicly stated his desire to continue and that he accepts a notable reduction in his earnings.

José Luis Gayà is proposed to immediately provide more stability and tactical flexibility on the left wing, allowing for more dynamic attacking transitions and defensive balance.
