Valencia CF continues to plan its squad for the upcoming season, and one of the options being considered to strengthen its midfield is the return of Pedro Chirivella. The current player for Nantes, who came up through Valencia's youth academy, has been linked on several occasions with a possible comeback to Mestalla, and now his name is back on the table.

The midfielder, who left Valencia's academy during his youth to join Liverpool, has never hidden his desire to return to the club where he was trained. After failing to establish himself in England and going through Dutch football and Extremadura, he has found stability in Ligue 1, where he has been defending Nantes' colors for five years.

An affordable price for Valencia

As reported by Marca, Valencia's board has made contact with his representatives, though the operation has not progressed yet because the club needs to define its sporting future before pursuing any signings. His contract with Nantes expires in 2026, so his departure would require negotiations with the French club, which would not let him go for less than three million euros.

Despite the uncertainty, Chirivella remains attentive to how things unfold. His desire to wear Valencia's shirt again remains strong, and next summer could be the moment his return becomes a reality.
