Of Javi Guerra
Manchester United have drawn up a plan to sign him in the summer. They have come to see him in the last few games and the player and VCF are aware of the interest.
The English are looking at 35-40M [Euros]. They know Valencia won't sell unless they make a big offer.

I haven't been able to watch much of Javi Guerra this season, but from the little I saw of him last season, he seems to be a skillful playmaking central midfielder who's a decent attacking threat in the final third. He was playing a big part in Valencia's attacks as well, so he has what it takes to control the midfield. What makes him particularly appealing here is his size: he's 187 cm tall (6'2"), so he seems to be a ready-made McTominay replacement.VCF are calm because (at the cost of losing assets) they are not financially obliged to sell and are not negotiating in January for Javi.
Juventus have done the same scouting work as United, but they consider it almost impossible given VCF's demands.
So no wonder Javi said yesterday that "I'm staying until the end of the season at least.... If they don't throw me out" (as a joke). It's very difficult for him to leave in January.
By the summer things are starting to move, but United are moving knowing that if they come for Javi, they will have to pay good money.
