Valencia CF transfer activity 2026

Entities: Thomas Meunier · Andoni Gorosabel · Osasuna · Valencia CF · Alex Lizancos

Overview

In late July 2026, Valencia CF was confronting roster pressure from injuries and contract constraints. The club evaluated ending or terminating the contract of winger Sergi Canós after a severe ACL rupture kept him sidelined until at least the end of the year, while also monitoring a free‑transfer deal for former Valladolid loanee Xavi Moreno to join CE Sabadell.

A week later the focus shifted to further squad changes. Valencia prepared for the possible exit of midfielder André Almeida following a Swansea City offer, despite his long‑term deal through 2029, and dealt with a right‑back shortage that led to Álex Lizancos moving to Osasuna to fill the gap.

These developments illustrate Valencia’s ongoing efforts to manage injuries, salary‑cap limits, and positional needs through player departures and incoming transfers.
