According to AS, Valencia considered Kosta Nedeljkovic as an option to strengthen the right flank. Valencia, his parent club Aston Villa, and Leipzig, where he is on loan, had a preliminary agreement for his loan to Valencia. However, bureaucratic issues related to his country of origin's visa process prevented his signing. The visa process could take about two months because he would not be joining as a professional player, as Valencia's B team plays in Segunda RFEF. Aston Villa is open to ending his loan with Leipzig so that Nedeljkovic can play for another club until the end of the season. The deal could have been finalized if Valencia had a free roster spot in the B team, but they did not have one as of the market deadline.

Valencia is interested in acquiring Kosta Nedeljkovic to enhance their squad during the winter transfer window. The Serbian international, currently with Aston Villa, is considered a potential alternative to Iván Fresneda to strengthen the right-back position following Correia's long-term injury. Valencia has officially approached Aston Villa with a request. The news was initially reported by Radio Valencia. Nevertheless, Aston Villa must carefully manage their loan quota, as they are permitted to loan out only six players outside of England, with five players already on international loans. Aston Villa perceives the loan favorably, viewing Nedeljkovic as a promising future talent. This season, he has participated in eight matches, spanning the Premier League, Champions League, and Cup competitions.
