Valencia are in new contract talks with Jose Luis Gaya.

Superdeporte says negotiations to extend Gaya's stay at Mestalla are on progressing well and the defender's expressed a desire to remain at the club beyond 2023.

Gaya was one of the favourites to improve Barçelona at left-back due to his contract situation (expires in 18 months), his experience in LaLiga at the age of 26 and the fact Mateu Alemany knows him well from his time at Valencia.

However, the Spain international could instead choose to stay where he is and reject any offer to leave.

Renewing his Valencia deal would see him increase his pay packet but nothing like if he were to accept one of the offers from the clubs interested in him.
