Marca reports on the contract situation of 31-year-old Spanish left-back José Luis Gayá, who is entering the final year of his contract with Valencia. According to the report, there have been no developments regarding his contract situation yet. In 2022, Gayá was also in his last year of contract when the club announced a contract extension two months before he would have become a free agent. Gayá has renewed with Valencia in 2013, 2015, 2018, and 2022. He currently has the highest contract in the squad, but the circumstances suggest he may not be renewed under the same conditions. Valencia considers his current salary not suitable. Both parties are waiting to start talks, and the outcome depends on the new conditions that could be offered. For the club, the matter is not yet a priority as they are focused on squad changes, but the issue will require addressing soon. The last renewal in 2022 was kept secret and announced as a surprise, extending his contract by four years. Gayá, who joined the club in July 2014, has 22 caps and 3 goals for Spain. His current market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
