Valencia presented Danny As the first reinforcement of the 2025-26 season in an act in which the sports director, Miguel Corona, only participated in the final photo, although it was the executive who closed his signing. “I arrive at a time of personal and professional maturity. I would like to help and contribute and add,” explained the new Valencian footballer.
Dani Raba arrives at Valencia, with a two -seasons contract, Lbre after having finished a contract with the Leganés this season. The Cantabrian midfielder was one of the options that Miguel Corona's sports direction worked during the past year, to adjust to the signing profile without cost. At 29, Dani Raba lived his best season in the First Division, in individual statistics, despite the decline of the cucumber team. The new Valencia footballer played 29 league games (1,890 minutes) in which he has scored 8 goals and gave 6 assists.
The absence of the prominence of the sports director was supplied by a welcome video of Sergio Canales- another Cantabrian footballer that preceded him in Mestalla- and for the presence of the four of Aldaia's children whose image became viral playing football in the mud in the street (Alejandro, Álvaro, Álex and Roberto). One of them, Alejandro asked him the first press conference question: what does he represent for you come to Valencia and dress this shirt? Raba's response was brief and clear: “Represent Valencia, which means the story of this club worldwide. I am looking forward to the season to wear this shirt.”
When was your signing forged?: “Since before finishing the league we had contact with Corona and the Mr. and I had no doubt. Respecting the Leganés to end the season I made the decision that had no doubt. The goal is not to suffer the stage that the team had last season in the first round. But I just arrived, we will go little by little.”
Why Valencia? “Because it is Valencia, we all know what the club is. Thanks to Corona and the Mr., the idea and the desire are seen. The conversations we had between us made me clear myself for Valencia.”
How is Corbern: “I've been knowing it much for a few days. Everything the colleagues comment is that it is very methodical, very hardworking, but also very close.”
Has this project been presented to the future, to return to the elite of European football? “We all know what Valencia is, although in these years I have lived a different situation and I come to contribute my grain of sand so that the team is in the place where it deserves.”
Valencia has a short template: “The second round that Valencia has made is from Champions with the same players who have now. I didn't have to think about coming here because Valencia is always Valencia.”
In what position do you look better to play in Valencia? “In the positions above I feel comfortable. Where I tell myself, I want to be aggressive.”
How he saw from distance to Valencia as a direct rival last season: “Valencia was in a critical situation and we must highlight the change he has given with a second round of Champions and we must highlight it.”
Personal objectives that are marked. “They are linked to the groups. I come to add. Everything in my hand will make it available to the team.”
Canales has told him in the video that Mestalla is 'brutal': “When you come from rival, people impress how they support is an impressive field. We have to make a fort of Mestalla, that the teams cost their lives to win and it is a stadium that we like to come to compete.”
What have Corber asked for Valencia? “They are private conversations. That he wants to get the most out of the attack zone,”
