Valencia eyes Belgian World Cup veteran Meunier as right‑back solution

Thomas Meunier is on the brink of a new challenge in Spain, with the Belgian right‑back poised to complete a move to Valencia CF this week. After returning to Belgium from his WK‑avontuur with the Rode Duivels, the agreement is said to be final pending a medical exam.

De club needed a solution for the right‑back slot and identified Meunier as the experienced, attacking profile required. Valencia specifically view him as a suitable replacement for the departed Thierry Rendall.

Volgens Spaanse media the deal is already signed and only the medical remains. Omdat Meunier in september 35 wordt, Valencia will conduct an extensive medical check before the contract is activated.

Meunier would sign a one‑season contract with an option for a second year, triggered by a set number of matches and minutes played. The clause reflects Valencia’s desire to balance immediate impact with future planning.

For Valencia, the signing adds a seasoned international to Carlos Corberán’s squad while the club continues scouting a younger right‑back to secure the position long‑term. For Meunier, the move offers a chance to contribute his World Cup‑tested experience in La Liga.
