In the second place in the Spanish championship, looking for a potential replacement for the left-back defender, who is interested in "Barcelona" and Madrid's "Real". The contract of the 26-year-old attacking left-back defender, who holds Brazilian and Italian citizenship, with Valencia club will end this summer and negotiations for contract extension with the player have recently stalled. To secure themselves, "Valencia" has already started looking for a player who could replace F. Aurelio in the summer. One of the most realistic candidates is identified as Madrid's leader Mario Pernia. The 28-year-old Argentine, who recently received Spanish citizenship, was one of the unexpected leaders of the Madrid team that started the season well, scoring seven goals in 21 matches playing in the defender position. "Valencia" is also following events in Barcelona, where they are seeking to extend the contract with 25-year-old defender Alberto Lopo. The Spaniard's contract with the Barcelona team ends this summer and if they decide not to extend it, "Valencia" is likely not to miss the opportunity to add a defender for free, who is a key player of "Espanyol", having played 18 Spanish league matches and 5 UEFA Cup matches this season.
