Manchester United target Fran Villalba has signed a new deal with Valencia CF.
The talks were happening for a few weeks and the youngster has finally announced the extension on his Twitter account.
Muy contento por renovar 4 años más con el equipo de mi vida.
Toca trabajar para aportar mi granito de arena a este gran club.#AMUNT #VCF pic.twitter.com/0zBz4iswDI— Fran Villalba (@franvillalba10) October 18, 2016
Villalba wasn’t happy with the lack of game time, as he made four appearances last season but hasn’t managed to obtain a single minute since the summer.
But Valencia have apparently convinced him and his agent, as a four-year contract was penned.
Earlier this month, the player’s agent Vicente Flores exclusively told Sport Witness that Manchester United were in early talks for his signing.
The youngster had a €4m release clause which would make him an easy target for the Red Devils.
That’s why Valencia were quick to offer Villalba a new deal and make sure he’ll spend a few more years in Spain.
The midfielder is currently at Mestalla, Valencia’s B squad, but after the new deal, it should be no surprise if we could see him in the first team soon.
