Pablo Maffeo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting regularly of late Maffeo has started in three of Valencia's last four league matches.

Impact Maffeo was one of Valencia's late signings to strengthen their defensive line ahead of the 2026/27 season. While the results haven't been ideal, Maffeo is settling nicely on the right side of the defense and has started in three of Valencia's last four matches. Los Che appointed Javier Aguirre as their new manager, but he's known for playing with four at the back, so Maffeo could easily stay in the XI when LaLiga resumes after the international break.
