BREAKING NEWS : AC Milan offers to sign the 22-year-old midfield player.

AC Milan has reportedly made a juicy bid for Javi Guerra, a 22‑year‑old Valencia midfielder who was also on Atlético Madrid’s radar last summer.

The Rossoneri offered €16 million plus €4 million in variables, but Valencia declined, sticking to a valuation closer to €25 million — the same price Atlético were willing to pay in 2024

Milan haven’t backed off — CEO Ron Gourlay is personally steering negotiations, and a revised offer may emerge soon

Guerra, under contract until 2027 and shining at the U21 Euros (even named MVP in one match), has signaled his desire to stay in Spain, saying he wants to “go hand in hand with the club”

Bottom line: Milan initiated talks with a solid opening bid, but Valencia remains firm on a higher price. Atlético previously showed strong interest — their summer pursuit bolsters Guerra’s profile, and Milan will likely up their offer.
