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.

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.
