Football transfer rumours: Javi Guerra to replace Mainoo at Manchester United?
Javi Guerra has shaken his head in the direction of Valencia, turning down a new contract with the Spanish club. One potential reason for not wanting to put pen to paper is that Manchester United are interested in signing the 22-year-old midfielder. Maybe Ruben Amorim will need someone new in the centre of the park if Tottenham are in the market for Kobbie Mainoo, who is yet to agree to an extension of his own and might fancy the bright lights of London and the Thomas Frank revolution. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall can boast of being a Europa League Conference and Club World Cup winner in his first season at Stamford Bridge but he was always on the periphery at Chelsea. Despite being a key player under Enzo Maresca at Leicester, the transfer to Stamford Bridge, where he rejoined the Italian head coach, has not worked out for him. Fulham are hoping his lack of playing time over the past 12 months might mean he is permitted a premature exit and are willing to take him on loan or even a permanent deal. The Blues do like a signing and are in the market for Jorrel Hato. Chelsea have made contract with Ajax over the centre-back about what it would take to prise him away from the Dutch club. Napoli might just be the place for Jack Grealish. The Serie A champions are seeking a new left winger and the Englishman could be just what they are looking for. If Scott McTominay is anything to go by, swapping Manchester for Naples can do wonders for a career … Speaking of wingers who have no future in the north west of England, Federico Chiesa could find his way back to Italy with Atalanta. For him to achieve that, it will need Ademola Lookman to head the way of Juventus for a fee of £43m. Bit-part player Chiesa has been left out of Liverpool's pre-season tour and does not fit into Arne Slot's plans. Rob Holding is on his way out of Crystal Palace. The main interest in the former Arsenal defender comes from Sheffield United and Colorado Rapids in MLS. The centre-back spent the second half of last season on loan at Bramall Lane, so a return to the club makes sense. He still has a year remaining on his Selhurst Park contract but he has only ever made one appearance for the club.

It does not seem like he has a way back in at Brighton but joining a Champions League club would soften the blow somewhat.

Manchester United working on signing Valencia star Javi Guerra
Manchester United are looking to take advantage of Javi Guerra's stalled contract talks with Valencia. Cristhian Mosquera and Guerra were two of Valencia's brightest players last campaign. Accordingly, Los Ches entered the summer transfer window aiming to renew the contracts of both academy products. However, Mosquera turned down their proposal in favour of a move to Arsenal earlier this summer. Now, the La Liga outfit are facing a similar predicament with Guerra. Manchester United target Javi Guerra rejects Valencia contract According to Marca, the 22-year-old has decided to reject Valencia's renewal offer, which was put on the table just under a week ago. It is understood that the midfielder and his camp feel that the La Liga outfit's proposal 'doesn't fit their needs' and they expect 'something better'. The stalemate has opened the door to United, who are keeping an eye on the situation. Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming United have reached a 'verbal agreement' with Guerra. It is now claimed that they are working 'behind the scenes' to bring him to the Premier League. Valencia are open to listening to offers for the Spain U21 international, hoping to fetch around €27 million. United, meanwhile, are willing to spend €25m on the promising midfielder. Journalist Sébastien Vidal adds that United are ready to 'finalize' the Spaniard's signing 'quickly'. Despite interest from elsewhere, the Valencia talent wants to move to Old Trafford. Great market opportunity for Manchester United Considering the price tag, Guerra has the potential to be a real coup for United. The Valencia star is a well-rounded midfielder, who is very aggressive and powerful out of possession and possesses impressive composure on the ball. In Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte, Ruben Amorim has midfielders capable of doing the dirty work. However, a technically proficient midfielder like Guerra could help the side dictate the tempo of the game more frequently. online polls Follow us on Bluesky: @

Valencia star negotiating contract renewal
A leading member of the midfield ranks at La Liga outfit Valencia is negotiating the terms of a contract renewal with the club. That's according to club insider Héctor Gómez, who points towards Javi Guerra as the player in question. The name of youngster Guerra has proven a prominent one in the headlines surrounding Valencia across the summer to date. This comes after the 22-year-old was hotly tipped for an incoming Mestalla departure. Italian heavyweights AC Milan, for one, are understood to have expressed a keen interest in Guerra's services with a view to next season. As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media on Wednesday is anything to go by, then the midfield starlet appears to be increasingly open to staying put in Valencia. As per a report from journalist Héctor Gómez: 'Javi Guerra is negotiating the offer that Valencia presented to him on Friday. He positively values the step and the offer that the club has proposed. 'Details such as first-year salary, bonuses, release clause' are under discussion. Conor Laird – GSFN
