Portuguese footballer André Almeida will play at Racing Santander next season, on loan from Valencia. The 28-year-old midfielder was representing the Valencian club, but failed to establish himself in the team's starting eleven.
The transfer to the Santander club allows André Almeida to get more playing time, something that has been lacking lately. The player arrives at the Spanish club with the aim of regaining his starting spot and competitive rhythm.
Racing Santander, for its part, strengthens its midfield with an experienced player who already knows Spanish football. The Santander club aims to consolidate its position in the Spanish Second Division, where it was promoted last season.
This operation comes at a time when Valencia continues to adjust its squad ahead of the end of the season. The loan is the solution found so that both parties benefit: the player gains competitive rhythm and Valencia reduces the burden of its wage bill.
