On Wednesday, AS reported Valencia have identified Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita as one of the targets to replace Giorgi Mamardashvili, who’s expected to be sold in this window.
It was also stated the La Liga side have contacted Guaita’s agent to know his future plans and if he’s open to joining them.
Super Deporte journalist Pau Pardo believes the Crystal Palace stopper would be best suited for Los Ches.
Faced with this scenario, the journalist adds the Crystal Palace player could be ‘one of the best options’ for the Spanish club, both financially and sporting wise. He has a year left on his deal.
According to Pardo, Guaita has been ‘one of the best in the entire Premier League’ and has also become ‘one of the idols’ over the years at Crystal Palace.
Although he’s ‘no longer at the highest point of his career’, Pardo states the 36-year-old could be an option for Valencia for a season or two, mainly because of his qualities. His experience and leadership qualities could help them next season, if he were to return to the Mestalla.
These are the journalist’s views and whether Valencia have a concrete interest to bring Guaita back to the club remains to be seen.
