Eliaquim Mangala’s Man City spell comes to an end with Valencia move
Centre-back Eliaquim Mangala has joined Valencia from Manchester City on a two-year deal, the LaLiga side have announced.
The 28-year-old joined City in 2014 from Porto for £32million and made 79 appearances.
Valencia said in a statement on their club website: “Valencia CF have reached an agreement with Eliaquim Mangala.
WELCOME @Elia22Mangala! Good to have you back 🖤🦇— Valencia CF English 🦇💯 (@valenciacf_en) August 13, 2019
“The French defender signed his contract on Tuesday to join the club through to June 30th 2021.”
Mangala spent the 2016-17 season on loan at Valencia before he returned to Manchester the following season and was part of the squad that won the Premier League title.
A loan spell at Everton ended after just two games following a knee ligament injury in 2018.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
