The Uruguayan striker will leave this summer after playing for West Ham in 2021
Maxi Gomez is one of the fixed ones that will leave the Valencia CF this very summer. The striker, who has shown a good performance during his time in the Che group, was pointed out by the board as one of the best assets to improve the economic situation of the club. And now that movements are already taking place in the market, a possibility has opened up for him in a good team.
As we know, the player sounded for the Premier League last summer, when he was about to leave the club. The team that showed the most interest was West Ham, who offered 20 million euros for his signing. But this interest has cooled and the London club has found another striker. This is Danjumawho will be placed under the orders of David Moyes after payment of 40 million of euros.
Valencia CF finds a destination for Maxi Gómez
However, the Premier League does not stop and now we have learned that an important club is looking for a striker, since it has just sold its offensive reference. This club is Everton, who have reached an agreement with Tottenham for the sale of Richarlison. In this way, they will have to look for a new striker in the market and the Uruguayan seems to be one of the best placed to reach Liverpool.
The operation for the Brazilian has been closed for around 50-60 million euros and part of this money will go to Maxi Gómez. Thus, Valencia CF begins to find solutions to its exit operation, which for the moment is entrenched, as Carlos Soler, Gayà and Guedes are still at the club. And it is that all those interested negotiate downwards to get these players signed.
What Valencia CF asks for Maxi Gómez
This season Maxi Gómez has lowered his level. This situation has been caused, in part, because he has not had the full confidence of the coach. This has caused that at 25 years of age his market value has fallen to 12 million euros. An amount that will be what the club demands to let their striker go, who has a signed contract until June 2024, so they have the upper hand.
For its part, Everton seems willing to reach 10 million euros for his signing, as they consider that they still have a lot of football to prove. Now it only remains to be seen what is the next step in Maxi Gómez’s career, which in these last two seasons has been stagnant. But the Premier League comes to the rescue of a striker who has had very promising years in Spanish football.
