Angel Di Maria’s move from Manchester United to Paris Saint-Germain could clear the way for Valencia to take Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Super Deporte reports Los Che have long held interest in the Argentina forward and club higher-ups have more than once watched Lavezzi.
Valencia’s success, or otherwise, in the Champions League play-off against Monaco will determine if they can approach the ex-Napoli attacker.
But Manchester United are also said to be thinking about Lavezzi and could rival Valencia for his signature, if they can’t pry Pedro Rodriguez from Barcelona.
