Valencia CF has decided to terminate Samu Castillejo's contract, ending a period marked by lack of continuity and disagreements with coach Rubén Baraja. Despite having reached a verbal agreement for the club to pay a significant part of the salary for the last year of the contract, the situation has become complicated. Now, the player will have to resort to the courts to claim his compensation if a friendly agreement is not reached in the coming days.

Poor Relationship with Baraja

Castillejo, who arrived at Mestalla in the summer of 2023, initially was an important player under Gennaro Gattuso's instructions. However, after the World Cup break and the change of coach, his role in the team began to diminish. Baraja, who took over amid a crisis of results, chose to relegate the Andalusian to the bench in favor of Diego López, a risky decision that proved correct as the homegrown player has performed very well since then.

The breakdown in the relationship between Castillejo and Baraja worsened with the player's entourage, especially his brother, criticizing the coach on social media. After an unsuccessful loan spell at Sassuolo where the team was relegated, Castillejo returned to Valencia this summer but could not resolve his future until the last moment. Ultimately, the number 22 shirt assigned to him was given to Luis Rioja, sealing his definitive departure from the club.
