According to Marca, Valencia hopes Almeida will leave and has received a formal offer from Swansea City, but the player has not yet agreed.

It is no secret that Valencia wants Almeida to leave. In fact, Corberán just renewed his contract a few months ago, but has since been sending clear signals regarding his competitive status. In a recent warm-up match, even Raba was ranked above the Portuguese player, and Almeida no longer has a place in the team. The club is pushing for his departure and has already received the first formal offer from Swansea City to sign him. Valencia has positively evaluated the terms proposed by the Championship club, and although a final agreement has not yet been reached, it is close to completion, with only a few minor details remaining.

However, despite the two clubs being close to an agreement, the deal has not yet been approved by the player himself. Almeida is not entirely sure whether to play in the Championship and wants to wait for better options to avoid taking a step that could be seen as a setback in his career. All parties are trying to persuade the player to reconsider and believe that Swansea City is a suitable option for his departure, but as of now, the player has not given the green light.

It is worth remembering that when Almeida first joined Valencia, the club paid a transfer fee of close to 7 million euros, but he never consistently performed well for the team. His contract renewal last season came as a surprise to everyone because Corberán agreed to give him a new contract with updated terms, but then hardly used him for the entire season. This season, Valencia is pointing him towards a departure, but they still need to wait.
