Valencia will reportedly open contract talks with United States midfielder Yunus Musah to fend off reported interest from both Liverpool and Chelsea.
The former Arsenal scholar, who was born in New York before moving to Italy and later England, impressed at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar as he helped Gregg Berhalter's side progress to the last 16 of the tournament, where they were defeated by the Netherlands.
Musah, who predominantly plays in central midfield, joined the La Liga giants in 2019 after turning down a new contract at the Emirates and has excelled on the east coast of Spain despite Los Che's struggles domestically. Since making his debut in 2020 after a season with the reserve side in Spain's Segunda division, the 20-year-old has since boasted his athletic and dominant skill-set under the tutelage of manager Gennaro Gattuso.
