Who Can Replace Carlos Soler at Valencia?

Despite the fact that Valencia have been looking far from their best during the last few years, or even last decade, club captain Carlos Soler is still managing to stand out with his consistently solid performances, earning himself an important spot within the plans of Spain national coach Luis Enrique.

Not only that, the 25-year-old has attracted the interest of many European giants that are interested to land him, especially with him having only one year left in his contract with the La Liga side. Taking into account Valencia's financial situation, the latter club might be open to sell its club academy product, so they avoid losing him for free next year.

In this case, the Spanish club should already be shortlisting some potential replacements for the Spain international. Our pick for Valencia would be Fiorentina's midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura, who was about to play under the lead of Gennaro Gattuso in the past should "Rino" haven't parted ways with La Viola.

Bonaventura can be a good low-cost replacement for Soler in that advanced left central midfielder role. The former Italy international's ability to register a good amount of goal contributions per season is one the main factors that privileges him in our case study. Acquiring Cavani is great, but losing Soler and Guedes' G/A could leave a huge gap that would definitely need to be filled.
