La Liga Valencia are showing interest in Town centre-half Cameron Burgess, according to Spanish reports.

Burgess, 29, is out of contract at the end of the month and ElDesmarque is reporting that Valencia view him as a potential signing should current players Christian Mosquera, who is in talks regarding a new deal, Eray Comert or Cenk Ozkacar move on.

British-born CEO Ron Gourlay, who was previously in the same position at Chelsea, West Brom and Reading, is reported to have held talks with Burgess’s representatives last week, telling them not to make any decisions until the situation at the Mestalla is resolved.

Valencia, who finished 12th in La Liga last season, have another ex-West Brom man, Carlos Corberan, in their managerial hotseat.

Los Ches aren’t the first Spanish side to have been linked with Burgess with Girona, who finished 16th in 2024/25 having reached the Champions League the previous season, reported to have offered him a contract in April. Rangers, in the Australia international’s native Scotland, have also been credited with an interest.

Speaking at the end of the season, manager Kieran McKenna said discussions regarding new Town terms with Burgess and Axel Tuanzebe, who is also out of contract this summer, were continuing: “Those talks are ongoing, as they have been for a while, and we'll see what the resolution is.”

Burgess’s Socceroos confirmed qualification for the 2026 World Cup finals by beating Saudi Arabia 2-1 in Jeddah on Tuesday.

ldnj added 16:22 - Jun 12 One of the few who, more often than not, wanted to play a pass forward and was dependable. It'll be a shame if he goes but not a surprise. Valencia is a lovely city !

Bazza8564 added 16:47 - Jun 12 Don't understand the sentiment here. People are talking like we've managed him away. Hes been offered a number of contract options in the last two seasons and turned them all down, even before we signed Greaves. He turns 30 in the autumn and wants a longer term deal than ITFC are prepared to give him. Would you offer a 3 or 4 year deal to a guy in his 30's who is already far from first choice? Let him go, he wants to play every week in a WC year, the fact that we may not persuade a fringe player to stay is immaterial. Greaves is going to improve massively over the next 12-18 months, all last years younger signings will. Build for the future, respect the past but don't be governed by it

Linkboy13 added 19:42 - Jun 12 I would be amazed if he went to a La Liga top division club probably just agents trying to get him the best deal. He would possibly get regular football at championship level and i trust McKenna's judgement in not picking him regularly. I think he will leave but not to a La Liga club he's technically not good enough but probably to another championship club.
