Leicester City eyeing up January deal for talented Valencia starlet

Valencia continue to be plagued by financial problems despite regularly selling their most valuable players, which continued in the summer when a deal was completed to sell Giorgi Mamardashvili to Liverpool (although he has been loaned out for the 2024/25 season is). The next talent who could make the transition to the Premier League is Diego Lopez.

Lopez has developed into a key player during Ruben Baraja's spell as Valencia manager, although he has struggled to find form this season. Nevertheless, his talent and potential make him valuable, and according to CaughtOffside, Leicester City are interested in a move to sign him during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Valencia will be willing to sell Lopez if necessary, although the asking price will be higher than normal if a club arrives mid-season. It is currently unknown what the club's valuation would be for the 22-year-old, but it certainly wouldn't be cheap.
