Valencia ‘aware’ of Carrillo

Sporting winger Andre Carrillo is on the Valencia agenda, reports claim, with the 24-year-old’s contract due to expire in 2016.

Super Deporte say Los Che are one of many teams interested in the Peru international, citing claims from Portuguese publication O Jogo.

Jorge Jesus, the Sporting Coach, has tried to tie Carrillo down to a new deal but so far has been unsuccessful, and Valencia could try to sign Carrillo in January rather than wait until the summer – though they have competition from Porti.

Super Deporte add that Carrillo is exactly the kind of player Nuno Santo has been looking for and didn’t get this summer, having tried and failed to take Denis Cheryshev from Real Madrid and Marcos Lopes from Manchester City.
