La Liga
Pepelu is experiencing an unexpected situation at Valencia CF, where he has gone from being a key player to becoming a footballer with residual prominence.
The midfielder from Denia, who arrived as the project leader, now faces an uncertain future in the midst of the fight for survival in LaLiga.
Pepelu, from undisputed leader to supporting actor
Pepelu's story at Valencia CF began with an immediate impact that thrilled Mestalla from day one.
With Rubén Baraja on the bench, the midfielder was the team's backbone, playing almost every available minute.
His consistency and leadership even led to his debut with the national team, confirming his growth within LaLiga.
However, the dynamics changed progressively, especially after an irregular period for the team.
The shift under Carlos Corberlán
According to AS, Carlos Corberlán's arrival at Valencia CF marked a significant turnaround in Pepelu's situation within the team.
The coach prioritized other profiles in midfield, significantly reducing the playing time of the Valencia native.
Pepelu went from being a regular starter to having a secondary role in the coach's scheme.
In LaLiga, his presence diminished until becoming an occasional resource in certain situations.
The emergence of new names
Competition in the heart of Valencia CF intensified with the rise of players like Javi Guerra or Barrenechea.
More recently, the arrival of Guido Rodríguez definitively pushed Pepelu out of the starting eleven.
Carlos Corberlán found in the Argentine the profile he was looking for, relegating the Levante academy product to a supporting role.

A future pointing towards the transfer market
Valencia CF is seriously considering transferring Pepelu during the upcoming summer market.
Despite being under contract until 2028, his loss of prominence has shifted the scenario within the club.
The sports management does not rule out a sale if an interesting offer arises to help balance the books.
In a delicate economic context, every decision in LaLiga has a direct impact on sports planning.
Pepelu not in the main plans
The current reality is that Pepelu is not among the priority players for Carlos Corberlán in the future.
His participation in recent matchdays has been almost testimonial, with very few minutes on the field.
He has even had to adapt to unusual positions, demonstrating his diminished role in the team.
At Valencia CF, the commitment to other profiles seems firm and enduring.
Seven finals to determine his fate
The final stretch of the season will be crucial for both Valencia CF and Pepelu himself.
The team is fighting for survival in LaLiga, while the player tries to regain prominence.
Every match could be decisive in defining his continuity or departure next summer.
The club's sports situation will influence many decisions made behind the scenes.
Pepelu and an impending farewell
The outcome seems to lean towards a possible exit for Pepelu from Valencia CF after three seasons at the club.
What began as a story of growth and leadership may end with a forced change of scenery.
Carlos Corberlán has set a clear path where the midfielder seems to have no place.
In the current context of LaLiga, it appears that Pepelu will be one of the key figures in the upcoming transfer market.
