What happened: Fabrizio Romano reports that Stole Dimitrievski will sign a contract extension keeping him at Valencia until June 2028, adding two more years to his deal. The extension was triggered by a clause tied to his standing as the club's first-choice goalkeeper, meaning he stays as the No. 1.

Why it matters: Locking down a settled starting goalkeeper gives Valencia continuity in a key position rather than facing uncertainty over the role next season. The North Macedonia international has held the first-choice job, and securing him removes the need to chase a replacement in the upcoming window.

What to watch: Watch for Valencia's official confirmation of the renewal and the full contract terms. The signing also clarifies the club's goalkeeping plans heading into the 2026-27 squad build.
