Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra has officially declined a new contract extension from his club, signaling a potential exit amid growing Premier League interest. According to MARCA, the 21-year-old was presented with a renewal offer last week, but after reviewing the terms with his representatives, decided it fell short of expectations.
Guerra’s decision has reportedly opened the door for Manchester United, who have been closely monitoring the situation. The Red Devils are now said to be willing to table a bid of £22 million to bring the talented Spaniard to Old Trafford.
While Guerra’s raw stats from last season—3 goals and 3 assists in 38 appearances—may not dazzle, those numbers don’t paint the full picture. Guerra is known for his energetic midfield presence, tactical intelligence, and ability to operate both as a box-to-box and defensive midfielder. Many in Spain view him as a player with similar traits to Rodri, and United’s recruitment team sees real long-term potential in him.
The move, if it materializes, would also align with United’s strategy of targeting young, high-upside talent who can grow into key roles over time. Still, some fans remain skeptical about the price tag and believe United should act more decisively in the market rather than just “monitoring” situations.
