FC Barcelona has offered Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra a six-year contract, Forbes reported. The 23-year-old Valencia academy product has made 118 appearances in the Spanish top flight and earned one senior cap for Spain in 2026. Guerra's current contract runs until mid-2029.
His release clause is set at €40 million in July 2026 and rises to €60 million later in the summer after a previous €100 million figure was reduced in his latest renewal. Guerra scored Valencia's equalizer in a 3-1 win over Barcelona on the final day of the season at Mestalla, canceling out Robert Lewandowski's opener.
Barcelona sporting director Deco has met with Guerra's agents to discuss the proposal.
The club does not view Guerra as its primary target. Julian Alvarez has reportedly agreed to join Barcelona for five years at a price tag as high as €150 million. Coach Hansi Flick's squad already includes Frenkie de Jong, Gavi and Pedri, reducing any immediate need for another midfielder.
