The transfer of Germán Valera to Elche appears to be nearly confirmed since last week, pending final approval from Elche. Valencia is interested in loaning him during the winter with an option to purchase in the summer for approximately 100,000 euros. Valera, who initially moved from Atlético de Madrid to Valencia at no cost, is inclined towards Elche due to limited playing opportunities at Valencia, despite Arouca's interest in him. The transfer was initially planned as Valera was en route to Elche's stadium, Martínez Valero, but the situation changed at the last moment of the transfer window. Valencia aims to manage their wage bill by transferring him, and following discussions, a loan agreement with a summer purchase option seems to be the solution they have settled on.
