Arsenal have reportedly been informed that Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra will be available for a fee between €25m (£22m) and €30m (£26m) during this summer's transfer window.
The 21-year-old has been in excellent form for Los Che during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring twice and registering three assists in 32 appearances in all competitions.
Guerra has been vital in Valencia's recent upturn, and the midfielder scored the only goal of the match in Friday's 1-0 success over Sevilla, which made it four wins from Los Che's last five matches during an excellent run.
There has recently been speculation surrounding his future, with Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Porto all said to have made approaches for the midfielder during the January transfer window.
Valencia allegedly made it clear that they were not prepared to sell in the middle of the campaign, but the situation will be different this summer, with the six-time Spanish champions believed to be planning for his exit.

Valencia 'want between £22m and £26m for Guerra'
According to Fichajes, Valencia want between €25m (£22m) and €30m (£26m) for Guerra this summer, which would represent a bargain for interested clubs considering his quality and potential to get even better.
Guerra has a contract with Valencia until June 2027, and it is understood that the release clause in his deal is €100m (£87m), but that is not a realistic fee for the midfielder at this stage of his career.
Manchester United have previously been linked with the midfielder, but it is understood that the strongest interest is arriving from Arsenal, with the Gunners said to be huge admirers of his talents.
Guerra has made 83 first-team appearances for Valencia, scoring seven goals and registering four assists, while he has featured on 16 occasions for Spain Under-21s, scoring once and providing two assists in the process.

Is it Guerra or Zubimendi for Arsenal?
Arsenal are also being heavily linked with Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, with the Spain international set to be on the move during this summer's transfer window.
Real Madrid are also being credited with an interest in Zubimendi, but Arsenal are believed to be at the head of the queue for a player who has a release clause of €60m (£51m) in his contract.
Guerra and Zubimendi are different players, so it is not impossible to imagine both being signed during the summer market, although space would have to be made in the midfield department at the Emirates Stadium if that is to be the case.
