Official: Valencia announce first summer signing

La Liga outfit Valencia have on Thursday made official the club’s first signing of the summer.

The player to have put pen to paper on terms with Los Che? Dani Raba.

The subject of attacker Raba’s future has long proven a prominent talking point across the Spanish football landscape.

This comes with the 29-year-old’s contract terms with the relegated Leganés due to come to an official end on the 30th of June.

Raba, for his part, is fresh off a fine individual campaign, which saw the winger, despite Leganés’ collective struggles, rack up nine goals and five assists in 33 appearances between La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

Such production had given rise to widespread interest in his signature, with a player of such quality becoming available on a free transfer too good an opportunity to pass up.

And as alluded to above, on Thursday, one such suitor have won out in the race for Raba’s services.

As per a statement across the website and social media platforms of La Liga outfit Valencia:

‘Dani Raba will become a Valencia CF player starting July 1st through to 2027.’
