Andres Guardado travels to Valencia

Spanish website Joranda reports that Andres Guardado has been given time off to come to Valencia. While not certainly known the exact reasons, it is widely believed that he has come to Valencia CF to finish up the last details of his contract with Valencia CF.

It was reported for more than half a year now that Guardado has signed a contract with Valencia CF and that he'd join the team first thing, so the fact that he has traveled to Valencia is not surprising.

Adnres Guarado's contract with Deportivo La Coruna officially expires on 30 June, so therefore he probably can not become a Valencia CF player earlier. So far it is looking certain that he has indeed finalized any details about his contract and is a safe bet that he'll become a Valencia CF player in a month or two.

Valencia CF interested in Raul Garcia

Rumors are flying is Spain that Valencia CF is interested in Raul Gracia who was playing for on loan for Osasuna this season, but is owned by Atletico Madrid. Raul Gracia was considered big talent few years back and Valencia CF lost the bid to get him to Atletico Madrid, but he hasn't shown the kind of games Atletico expected from him and with the arrival of few new players last season they loaned him out.

He's so far excelled at Osasuna and seems Valencia CF is interested of acquiring his services or maybe Valencia CF is playing this tactically trying to lover the cost of Borja Valero who Valencia CF also wants to sign.

Valencia CF season 2012/13 dress introduced

Valencia CF officially introduced the new season 2012/13 dress. The new dress is white with 4 thin black stripes around it at the front, nice looking V at the neck piece and the sponsors are nicely implemented. The shorts are black with white stripes at the bottom and the socks are white with thick black stripes at the top.

Overall the dress is looking good and especially the shirt. We have yet to see how the away dress will look and the third dress, if there is a third dress that is.

Dealbert, Bruno and others leaving Valencia CF

The season is over and its time for the usual summer transfers and moves. In Valencia CF we have few players that will be leaving this summer as free agents and these are Angel Dealbert, Bruno Saltor, Miguel Brito and very likely Hedwiges Maduro, while Aritz Aduriz is looking likely to be sold and Jordi Alba is a mystery and will depend if Barcelona get Gareth Bale.

So right now Valencia CF is looking for a new right back and has been looking for some time now with the choice between Mathieu Debuchy and Joao Pereira. Since Dealbert has confirmed he is leaving this season, we are looking at additional center back to replace him with Alberto Botia from Sporting Gijon the prime target as his team has been relegated and he would be the perfect replacement as a young and talented player, but that can sit on the bench.

Miguel Brito is most certainly a done deal, although we haven't heard much about it from the club or anything from the player, and then here is Maduro who would like to get more first team football and will probably be moving back to Holland. Most likely we are going to bring in a replacement for Maduro who can compete for first team football and that player is Bruno Soriano from Villarreal who have now been relegated and are going to be selling some of their best players this season due to the relegation, but from financial reasons as well.

Aritz Aduriz has said that he will talk to the club about his future, but it is known that the team is looking to replace Aduriz, but only if they find a suitable replacement. If Aduriz leaves he will most likely go to Atletico Bilbao or in the Premier League.
The name mentioned to replace Aduriz is Oliver Giroud, but he is likely to cost too much and has offers from other clubs as well ans his price can only skyrocket after the Euro 2012, unless of course France embarrass themselves once again, which is highly unlikely.

Villarreal relegated, Bruno on target to become Valencia CF player

And this is it. The Spanish Premiera Division is officially over and we are literally minute or two away from the crowning of the deserved winners Real Madrid.

The good news of some are devastating news for others and Atletico Madrid winning over Villarreal 1-0 and going to the Europa League for a chance to defend their title is devastating news for Villarreal as they are being relegated, after they were fighting for top 6 spots last year. How things can change in one year and so drastically.

This opens up the door for Valencia CF to come in and swoop Bruno Soriano on the cheap and as a very good replacement to Maduro as well, who is going to be on his way out this summer.
