Fabián Berlanga, president of Vélez, and Ricardo Álvarez, the manager, have stated that they would only sell Valentín Gómez to a club in Europe, not to River or Boca. However, if a European club buys him and then loans him to River or Boca, they would consider it.

Marcelo Gallardo has made initial contact with Valentín Gómez's agent, Hernán Reguera, to express an intention to bring Gómez to Núñez. However, River Plate would need to pay the $10,000,000 release clause demanded by Vélez.

Valentin Gomez from Velez Sarsfield is also on Real Madrid's radar, with a transfer cost around 10 million euros.
