Javi Guerra Commits Future to Valencia with New 2029 Contract

Valencia have officially announced that midfielder Javi Guerra has signed a new contract, extending his stay at the Mestalla until June 2029. The deal secures one of Spanish football’s brightest talents for four more years.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Javi Guerra, who has been a key figure in Valencia’s midfield since his breakthrough, has now agreed new terms that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2029. The contract renewal comes after months of speculation, with Manchester United and Milan both strongly linked to the 22-year-old earlier this summer. In the end, Guerra chose to continue his development in Valencia, reinforcing his loyalty to the club where he came through the academy. The announcement was made official on Saturday, marking a big win for the team as they prepare for the 2025-26 La Liga season.

WHY IT MATTERS?

Guerra’s renewal signals Valencia’s commitment to building a strong core for the future. Over the past two seasons, he has established himself as a vital part of Carlos Corberan’s setup, forming a strong partnership with Pepelu in midfield. In the 2024-25 campaign, Guerra made 36 La Liga appearances, scoring 6 goals and providing 5 assists, and was instrumental in helping Valencia finish 9th, narrowly missing out on a European spot. His continued presence gives the squad stability and ambition as they aim for a higher finish this year.

WHAT’S NEXT?

With his contract sorted, Guerra will focus on pre-season preparations and leading Valencia’s midfield as they kick off the 2025-26 La Liga campaign. Los Che open their season next week against Real Sociedad, a club that finished 11th last term but will be eager to surprise. With key players like Guerra and pending renewals for defender Cesar Tarrega, Valencia are aiming to strengthen their bid for European qualification this season.
