Valencia target Guido Rodríguez for midfield rebuild
Carlos Corberán wants Betis midfielder Guido Rodríguez as Valencia's marquee summer signing. The Argentine is the club's top midfield priority, and sporting director Kike Gourlay is pushing hard to land him (1). Rodríguez, 32, would bring steel and experience to a midfield that needs fresh legs. No fee has been confirmed yet, but this one is moving fast.
Thomas Meunier also on the radar
Valencia have identified Belgian right-back Thomas Meunier as their first-choice target for the defensive flank (2). The veteran defender fits the profile Corberán wants – experienced, competitive, and available. Expect movement in the coming weeks as the club looks to lock down both Rodríguez and Meunier early in the window.
