Injured duo stuck at Mestalla, Ramazani interest heats up

Two exits blocked by injury

Valencia want to move on from Dimitri Foulquier and Mouctar Diakhaby this summer, but both players are injured and that makes them unsellable right now. No club will take a player who cannot pass a medical, so they are stuck at Mestalla for the time being. It is a frustrating situation – the club needs to shift players to reshape the squad, and these two are eating up wages without generating interest (1).

Ramazani on the radar

Valencia are interested in signing Largie Ramazani from Leeds United, and the deal could come on favourable terms. The 25-year-old winger offers pace and directness, something your squad lacks when the game needs stretching. Leeds are open to letting him go if the structure is right, which gives Valencia a real shot at landing him without breaking the bank (3).

Lewandowski farewell ends level

Valencia drew 1–1 with Barcelona at Mestalla on May 23 in what was Robert Lewandowski's final LaLiga appearance for the visitors. The Polish striker scored before leaving the pitch, a fitting end to his Barça career. For your side, holding the champions to a draw is a solid result – competitive and disciplined against a team loaded with quality, even if there was little left to play for in the table (4).

Season wrap

You finished 9th in LaLiga on 49 points with a goal difference of -9. Not where this club belongs, but the 3–1 win over Barcelona on the final day – coming from behind after Lewandowski's early goal – showed real fight. Javi Guerra and Luis Rioja turned the game around at Mestalla, and Hansi Flick admitted afterward that Valencia deserved the win. That performance is the blueprint for next season: resilient, dangerous on the break, and unafraid of anyone.
