Baptiste Santamaria News: Signs with Valencia

Santamaria completed a transfer to Valencia from Rennes, the club announced Thursday.

Santamaria made the move to Valencia after five seasons in Rennes, with a more limited role after going out on loan in the most recent campaign. The midfielder is a solid box-to-box option with limited offensive upside, but the ability to shoulder a large role. He signed a deal through 2027 with Valencia, and should compete for minutes immediately, though he could be a depth option to start out.
