When Nuno first took over, Augusto was rumored to follow and it took a while, but he will be part of Valencia CF's first team.
The details of the deal such as a purchase option or wages haven't yet been specified. But there you have it, another young player, a defensive midfielder will be Valencia's next signing. Meanwhile, the output of Banega, Jonas, Barragan, Postiga, Araujo and Viera are in progress.
