Barcelona are ready to sign Valencia captain Jose Gaya

Jose Gaya and Barcelona have once again been linked with a transfer rumor but this time it could be a real possibility as the Spanish left-back has only a year and a half left on his contract and Valencia will have to sell him or risk losing. him on a free transfer. According to SPORT, the Valencia captain decided that his services would be better used at another club. He is already 26 years old and must take a new step in his career. Barca have been obsessed with the player since last season and so it is only natural that they want to move to this club.

Gaya’s contract expires on June 30, 2023, so the next summer transfer window will be their last chance to get a good price for the player. In the winter transfer window, many clubs will try to push for a lower number as Valencia will otherwise lose the player on a free transfer. Gaya has also made it clear that he does not wish to extend his current contract with the club and has reportedly rejected many contract offers from his current squad.

Barcelona seek to secure Jose Gaya for free

It all seems very favorable to the Catalans, however, whether he will come to the club in the summer or in the winter is the main question. While the Blaugrana have the funds to bring him in immediately if they absolutely have to, they would much prefer to spend a lot of money on Erling Haaland, who just happens to be their main target at the moment. Alvaro Morata is their secondary target if they fail to secure Haaland and even that will require a high fee. While the club definitely need a left-back to replace Jordi Alba, Xavi Hernandez is more focused on attacking and therefore bringing in a world-class striker is the priority at the moment.
