jun 21 2026Valencia Basket is making moves in the transfer market and has reportedly advanced negotiations with Matthew Strazel, currently at AS Monaco, to strengthen their backcourt for the upcoming season.
According to information reported by Nacho Rodríguez, the French point guard is very close to reaching an agreement with the Valencia club, in an operation that would align with Valencia's strategy of bringing in young talent with European experience and room for growth.
Strazel, born in 2002, has been with AS Monaco since 2022, joining from ASVEL, and has competed in the French elite league and the EuroLeague. The French international, with an electric playing style and the ability to play both with the ball and in high-tempo situations, already knows what it takes to handle significant minutes in a demanding context.
For Valencia Basket, his arrival would mean adding a piece for the immediate future at the point guard position, with a still-young player already accustomed to high-pressure scenarios. If the deal closes, Strazel would become one of the major moves in Valencia's project for the upcoming campaign.
