Juventus have turned their attention to a young talent from La Liga, Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera. Born in Alicante to Colombian parents in 2004, Mosquera has established himself as a regular in Valencia’s defense, becoming one of the best Under-20 specialists in La Liga. His solidity, strength in anticipation, and decisive marking make him a very interesting prospect, comparable to Gleison Bremer. Juventus’ scouting team has been consistently monitoring his progress.
Mosquera, who has been playing regularly for two years, has attracted the attention of many European clubs who have watched him live. His contract situation makes him even more appealing: in January, Mosquera informed Valencia of his intention not to renew his contract, which expires in June 2026. Consequently, the Spanish club will need to sell him in the summer to avoid risking losing him on a free transfer the following year. This scenario has increased interest from major teams, including Juventus, who could make a concrete offer for the young defender in the upcoming transfer window.
Cristhian Mosquera is a true product of Valencia. Born in Alicante on June 27, 2004, to Colombian parents, Mosquera has never left the Valencian community during his development. His passion for sports began with basketball, thanks in part to his considerable height at a young age. During a period when the NBA was experiencing significant global expansion, Mosquera was drawn to basketball, inspired by figures like Pau Gasol, who was enjoying success with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, young Cristhian soon abandoned basketball to focus on futsal, another passion of his. He joined the San Blas Cañavate team, where he participated in various tournaments, and from there made the leap to football, specializing as a defender. His football career has led him to become an emerging talent at Valencia, where he currently plays for the first team.
According to Tuttosport (via IlBianconero), Cristhian Mosquera’s price could be around 15 million euros in the upcoming summer transfer market. Given his young age and undoubted potential, acquiring him could prove to be a advantageous deal. For this reason, Juventus is also evaluating the possibility of targeting him. At present, Mosquera does not represent an urgent necessity for the team, but an opportunity to monitor carefully. Technical director Cristiano Giuntoli is known for his ability to explore the market and keep various options open to strengthen the Bianconeri squad. Juventus could therefore be ready if the deal proves advantageous.
