The Spain international will offer the Valencia boss the freedom to be more flexible with his formations, tactics and team selections. Mayoral has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.

According to the report, “Real Madrid are pricing Borja Mayoral out of a move to Valencia. Marca says Los Blancos are looking to sell the striker this summer are seeking for around 15 million euros, but that’s too much for Valencia. In response, Valencia are hopeful that they could purchase a percentage of his rights in order to sign the player at a lower fee. Valencia’s need for a striker is still dependent on whether or not Rodrigo Moreno leaves the club. If he does then they’ll look to sign a replacement or even bring one in on loan, such as Watford’s Luis Suarez.”
