AS reports that Valencia's 20-year-old Spanish midfielder, Lucas Nuñez, will play for Eibar in Segunda División next season, despite interest from other clubs that attempted to sign him until very late in the process. Nuñez was a priority for sporting director César Palacios. The clubs and the player's agents are currently exchanging documents for what will be a simple loan. The contract includes incentives for Nuñez to play as many matches as possible, because Valencia considers him part of their future plans and wants him to gain experience. Having already said goodbye to his teammates, Nuñez plans to arrive in Ipurua this weekend. His contract with Valencia expires on June 30, 2028, and he has a current market value of €100k, according to Transfermarkt. In the 2025/2026 season, Núñez made 44 appearances and provided 1 assist in the Segunda Federación.
