Valencia Open Talks to Sign Arnaut Danjuma as Player Shows Eagerness for Move

Valencia have started talks to sign Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal. The winger is excited to join them, and personal terms are not a problem.

WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE TRANSFER?

Valencia are working to sign Dutch winger Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal. Danjuma, recently back from a loan at Girona, played 32 games there. He scored three goals and made two assists last season. Though he’s back at Villarreal, his place in the team is not certain.

The club finished ninth in La Liga last season, missing out on European competition spots. They’re reportedly open to selling him for about €5 to €5.5 million. Although other clubs were interested, Valencia are leading in talks since personal terms with Danjuma are smooth.

VALENCIA’S CURRENT SITUATION

Valencia hope to improve their attack after finishing ninth in La Liga, missing out on Europe. They were lacking consistency, finishing nine points behind Real Betis and only four points clear of 13th place.

Coach Rubén Baraja wants to add speed and creativity, especially on the wings. Danjuma fits the bill perfectly. They’ve also signed Dani Raba for the new season to boost their league position. Villarreal finished fifth last season, qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR DANJUMA AND VALENCIA?

If Danjuma joins quickly, he could play in Valencia’s first match of the season against Alavés. Alavés ended last season in 14th place. This match is a chance for Valencia to start climbing the table. They aim to reach the European spots this year.

Valencia’s rivals like Villarreal and Real Betis are also strengthening. This makes the next few weeks important for transfers. Danjuma hopes for a new start at Valencia. He is likely to get regular playing time and become a key player if the deal happens.
