Valencia have opened new contract talks with Yunus Musah amid pressure from his former club Arsenal.
Valencia has opened contract talks with USA star Musah in an attempt to fend off interest from Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea.
The US’s World Cup run came to a crashing halt Saturday after Gregg Berhalter’s team were knocked out in a heartbreaking 3-1 defeat to Holland in the Round of 16 but the youthful side still managed to impress, particularly Musah.
The 20-year-old caught the eye of some of Europe’s elite on soccer’s global stage after being part of the USA’s powerhouse midfield that headed the team’s charge to the knockout stages.
However, the Spanish side is understandably unwilling to let its starlet leave without a fight, says the Liverpool-Chelsea-contact-Yunus-Musahs-representatives-USA-star-impressed-World-Cup.html” target=”_blank”>Daily Mail.
Valencia is believed to be attempting to fight off the overseas interest by trying to tie Musah down to a new contract.
The club has reportedly moved to open talks with Musah over a new contract to replace his previous deal, which runs until 2026 and includes a release clause of €100million ($105m).
