Valencia has focused its attention on Gonzalo Montiel, the current player for Sevilla, as a key alternative to reinforce its weakened right-back position. Following Thierry Correia's serious injury, the che team faces an urgent need to incorporate a player to cover this position. The Argentine's name emerges at a time when the team is seeking experience and quality, despite financial limitations that hinder more ambitious moves in the market.
The option of Montiel gains relevance due to his background and the fact that his prominence at Sevilla has decreased this season. Although no agreement has been finalized yet, the Valencian club has already started discussions to explore the possibilities of having the full-back. This interest reflects a strategy focused on finding a temporary reinforcement to help the team stabilize its defense without compromising its already tight budget.
Montiel is not the only option
The winter market will be crucial in defining Valencia's future in this position. Names like Ivan Fresneda and Álex Jiménez have been previously considered, but the World Cup champion's experience with Argentina places him as a prominent candidate. However, his situation at Sevilla is influenced by the possible retirement of Jesús Navas, which could complicate his departure.
For now, Montiel appears as an attractive yet uncertain option. Everything will depend on the negotiations between both clubs and how the needs of the Sevilla team evolve. Valencia, in any case, has little room for error in a position that will be crucial for the rest of the season.
