Calciomercato.com describe him as ‘elegant, very technical and with that typical dynamism of the box-to-box midfielders that modern coaches like so much’. Despite having just turned 22 in May, he is already a leader of Valencia under Carlos Corberàn.
In 2019 he left Villarreal and joined the Valencia youth team and is now ready for a new stage in his professional career. Milan want him: Geoffrey Moncada likes him, having already sounded him out 12 months ago, and also Massimiliano Allegri who sees in him a trajectory similar to Adrien Rabiot.
Contacts and costs
In recent days, Guerra’s Italian intermediary has had direct, very positive contact with Igli Tare. The Milan sporting director considers him to be a top player who has big potential to grow. The Valencia midfielder is a player for whom the Rossoneri intend to plan a move.
However, it remains to be seen what the timing will be because Javi has many requests on the market in addition to a contract renewal proposal from Valencia. In order of priority, Granit Xhaka is before Guerra, too.
The Swiss midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen is a favourite of Tare and has also received positive feedback from Allegri. Granit is a Milan player, in fact, he is exactly what the Diavolo need at this moment.
While waiting to understand the next moves, Milan learned that Valencia want €25m for Guerra and have had initial approaches from Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid, but nothing more.
