Valencia‑Swansea Andre Almeida transfer

In late July 2026 Swansea City formally submitted a bid to acquire 26‑year‑old Portuguese midfielder André Almeida from Valencia CF. Valencia, which had paid €8 million for the player in 2022, indicated willingness to consider offers in order to avoid a loss on that investment. At the time, Almeida, still under contract until 2029, was not publicly interested in moving to the English Championship.

A few days later, Valencia outlined its broader financial strategy, planning to capitalise a €35 million loan and earmarking funds for a permanent right‑back replacement. Within this plan, the club set a target price of about €3.5 million, with possible add‑ons, for Almeida’s transfer to Swansea City, signalling a more concrete valuation and intent to finalise the move.

Together, the snapshots trace the progression from an initial bid submission to Valencia’s formal pricing and financial framing of the transfer.
