Unai Núñez transfer developments

Entities: Unai Núñez · RCD Espanyol · Marco Garcés · RC Celta de Vigo · Manolo González

Overview

In late July 2026 Valencia CF were looking to offload centre‑back Unai Núñez, whose high wages made a permanent move difficult, and two LaLiga clubs were reported to be interested. At the same time, Valencia arranged a season‑long loan for younger forward Lucas Núñez to SD Eibar. By early August 2026 the situation progressed: Unai Núñez, now contracted to Celta de Vigo after leaving Valencia, secured a season‑long loan to RCD Espanyol with an option to purchase. The loan is intended to give him regular playing time and strengthen Espanyol’s defence, while Celta keeps future options open. Both moves are part of Valencia’s broader squad‑management strategy ahead of the new season.
