<p>The 22-year-old midfielder was quick to reject Valencia's extension proposal, but the Spanish club are confident that they can get him to put pen to paper with further discussions. According to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/valencia/2025/08/01/valencia-acerca-posturas-renovacion-javi-guerra.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a>, the Spaniard is happy to continue at Valencia but wants the club to meet certain criteria, ranging from increasing his wages to competing at the top level of football rather than fighting for survival in the Spanish League.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Guerra's current contract expires in 2027, and Valencia are interested in extending it to 2029. In the contract proposed to Guerra, the club offered him increased wages, which would have increased year-on-year and would have earned the midfielder €15 million (£13m/$17m) over four years. However, Guerra didn't like the initial base salary, finding it unfeasible. Valencia consider Guerra to be one for the future and are willing to accommodate changes to the offer.</p><p>Guerra's demands, however, go beyond the salary figures. In addition to increased wages, the player wants the club to have a better sporting project, one that can compete at the top level. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/off-to-man-utd-javi-guerra-rejects-valencia-s-contract-offer-amid-interest-from-premier-league-and-serie-a/blt4ee43ab8ae705ef4" target="_blank">United</a> and Milan have shown interest, with the latter having even launched <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ac-milan-bayer-leverkusen-keep-granit-xhaka-transfer-agreement-serie-a-side-eur16m-javi-guerra-bid-rejected/blt73cd1570bdacddbd" target="_blank">a bid of €16m (£14m/$18m) plus €4m in bonuses</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Valencia are not willing to part ways with Guerra, not only because they don't want to lose out on a future star, but also because his contract has a sell-on clause. As per the sell-on clause, Villarreal, Guerra's former club, will receive 30 per cent of the transfer fee from Guerra's sale. This means that for the club to make a profit of over €20m (£17m/$23m), Valencia will have to sell Guerra for more than €28m (£24m/$32m), a figure that no club is willing to match at this time.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The player's camp are receptive to the contract offered, as they believe that through further discussions, they will reach a common ground. Guerra, who was born and raised in Valencia, is reportedly interested in continuing his career at Mestalla Stadium. Valencia are also optimistic about retaining Guerra and have since rejected Milan's offer.</p>
