AC Milan have officially entered the race for Spanish midfielder Javi Guerra by submitting a formal transfer offer to Valencia. According to reports from Di Marzio and corroborated by other media outlets, the Rossoneri have stepped up their interest in the 22-year-old as they seek to strengthen their midfield options following the departure of Tijjani Reijnders.

Guerra has emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in Spanish football. Standing at 187 cm, the midfielder is known for his versatility, capable of playing both as a defensive anchor and in more attacking roles. His skill set includes excellent ball distribution, impressive stamina, solid tackling ability, and a keen eye for key passes, particularly through balls that split opposition lines.

The young Spaniard has already accumulated valuable experience, making 89 appearances for Valencia in all competitions. During that time, he has found the net eight times and provided four assists, highlighting his dual ability to support both defense and attack. On the international stage, Guerra has worn the Spain U21 jersey 18 times, scoring once and further proving his capability at a high level.

Milan’s offer reportedly includes €16 million as a guaranteed amount, with a further €4 million in potential add-ons based on performance. This brings the total potential value of the bid to €20 million. However, Valencia are believed to value their midfielder higher. Just last year, they held negotiations with Atletico Madrid, discussing a possible transfer fee of around €25 million. Guerra’s current estimated market value also sits at €25 million, according to Transfermarkt.com, making Milan’s proposal slightly below the benchmark.

Despite the gap in valuation, Milan remain confident they can secure the player. A major reason for this optimism is Guerra’s apparent willingness to make the switch to the San Siro. The player’s preference often becomes a decisive factor in transfer negotiations, especially when the financial difference between clubs is relatively minor. Milan are hopeful that Guerra’s desire to join the Rossoneri will help push the deal over the finish line.

The pursuit of Guerra is part of a broader effort by AC Milan to retool their midfield. Two years ago, they saw club stalwart Sandro Tonali leave for Newcastle United, prompting a series of midfield acquisitions. Now, with Reijnders also out the door, the club must once again rebuild the core of their midfield unit. Guerra fits the profile Milan are targeting: young, talented, and capable of growing within the club’s competitive structure.

Guerra’s dynamic style, technical ability, and high work rate make him a strong fit for the demands of Serie A and Milan’s tactical approach. Though he is still in the early stages of his professional journey, his potential makes him a valuable long-term investment for the club.

As talks progress, the key question remains whether Valencia are willing to compromise on their valuation, or whether Milan will be forced to increase their offer. Either way, the coming days are likely to be decisive, and Milan supporters will be watching closely as the club seeks to secure its next midfield star.
