Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of completing a deal for Javi Guerra, the highly rated 22-year-old midfielder from Valencia CF, as the Premier League giants look to bolster their midfield ahead of the 2025/26 season.
According to Monday reports from FootballTransfers and Sports Mole, the Red Devils are “close to signing” Guerra, whose contract at Valencia includes a €100 million release clause.
However, sources indicate that a fee in the region of €24–30 million is likely to be accepted by the Spanish club due to financial constraints.
“Manchester United are pushing hard to sign the 22-year-old, and a deal is close,” FootballTransfers reported on Monday, citing Italian outlet Calciomercato.
Guerra, who has made over 80 La Liga appearances and emerged as a standout performer in a struggling Valencia side, is seen as a long-term solution to United’s evolving midfield under new manager Rúben Amorim.
He is known for his box-to-box energy, defensive discipline, and ability to dictate play from deep.
The potential transfer comes as United prepare for a summer rebuild, with the futures of veterans such as Casemiro and Christian Eriksen uncertain.
