Valencia CF remains active in the winter transfer market and has finalized an agreement with Bournemouth for the loan of Max Aarons, a 25-year-old English right-back. The player, who has experience in the English youth national teams, has not had a prominent role this season under Andoni Iraola, which has facilitated his departure. Aarons will be the second addition to the Valencia squad in this market, following the signing of Omar Sadiq.
The agreement states that Valencia will cover the player's salary until June and will have a purchase option valued at €9 million. This move comes after the club had to seek alternatives following the unexpected halt in the operation to sign Iván Fresneda from Sporting Portugal, who was the initial priority.
Corberán was looking for a new right-back
Aarons' arrival meets a key need in the Mestalla team, which has been left with limited options at right-back due to Thierry Rendall's long-term injury. With only Dimitri Foulquier available for that position, the Englishman arrives with the opportunity to compete for a place in the starting lineup.
