AC Milan make offer for 22-year-old midfielder previously targeted by Atletico Madrid
Valencia star Javi Guerra is facing another uncertain summer, as Europe's top sides examine a move for him once again. The 22-year-old midfielder is currently in action at the under-21 Euros with Spain, but already clubs are making moves for him.
Guerra has caught the eye of top sides since his breakthrough into the first team under Ruben Baraja, and was on the verge of a move to Atletico Madrid last summer. A deal was agreed, and Guerra was on a train to Madrid, when Los Rojiblancos decided to sign Conor Gallagher instead. However they have maintained their interest in him, as he is a favourite of Director of Football Carlos Bucero, but they are first moving for Real Betis' Johnny Cardoso.
Real Madrid interest in Guerra
Initially, Newcastle United and Manchester United were the two giants that showed the strongest interest in Guerra. However that interest cooled, before Guerra found his form again this season under Carlos Corberan. Early in May though, it was reported that Real Madrid had Guerra on their shortlist for a potential addition this summer.

AC Milan make bid
However the first team to make a move this summer are AC Milan. With Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah on their way out, Football Italia quote a report from Sky Sports Italia, who say that the Rossoneri have made a €16m bid for Guerra with another €4m available in variables. Guerra currently has two years left on his new deal – it is not yet clear what Los Che's response has been.
Guerra on his future
Speaking to Cadena Cope over the weekend, Guerra did affirm his commitment to Valencia. Los Che do have a habit of selling on their young talent though, as evidenced by the exit of Giorgi Mamardashvili, agreed with Liverpool last summer.
'I'm from Valencia and I'm a fan of Valencia, and there's no better place to pursue a career. It's true that the club is going through a period that isn't one of its best financially in history, but I've always said I'm going to work hand in hand with the club, and my desire is to be at Valencia.'

This poses a concern for Alonso considering that Real Madrid do not have another senior centre-forward at their disposal with Endrick also out injured. Advertisement One of the alternatives for the new head coach would be Rodrygo, who has been clamouring to play on the left or through the middle instead of his usual position on the right. Meanwhile, young academy striker Gonzalo Garcia, who enjoyed a prolific campaign with Castilla, could also be an option in Mbappe misses out tomorrow. The likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, Endrick, and David Alaba are all set to be unavailable for the opener tomorrow while the trio of Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, and Eder Militao are also unlikely to be ready.
