Arsenal cash incoming for Mosquera
Arsenal owe Valencia the first performance-related add-on payment for Cristhian Mosquera. The centre-back moved to north London in a deal that included future clauses, and the first of those has now been triggered (2). It is a welcome financial boost for a club that needs every euro it can get this summer.
Gourlay touring Europe to build Corberán's squad
CEO Ron Gourlay is on a tour of European clubs, holding face-to-face meetings to shape the squad for manager Corberán ahead of the new season (3). The trip signals intent, but actions, not meetings, are what you will judge. Valencia need signings, not PowerPoint presentations.
Santamaría and Raba pushed toward the exit
The club wants to move Santamaría and Raba out before pre-season begins (1). Neither fits Corberán's plans and their departures would free up wages for incoming business. Expect movement on both fronts in the coming weeks.
