Portuguese-Cape Verdean right-back Thierry Correia of Valencia is being linked with a move to Italian side Venezia in Serie B, with the La Liga defender potentially heading towards free-agent territory if his contract situation is not resolved.
Correia, 27, is currently listed with no confirmed contract expiry date at Mestalla, fuelling talk that Valencia could either cash in this summer or risk losing him for nothing further down the line. The reported interest from Venezia has been logged on 11 June 2026 with the probability of a deal still marked as “?”, underlining that negotiations, if any, remain at an early stage and the transfer is far from agreed.
Born in Amadora on 9 March 1999, the 1.76m defender has built his career primarily as a right-back, operating on his preferred right foot. He wears the No 12 shirt at Valencia and is valued at €2.50m on Transfermarkt – a figure that would make him a comparatively low-cost option for Venezia as they seek to reinforce ahead of another Serie B campaign.
Correia, who holds both Portugal and Cape Verde nationality, has spent recent seasons in Spain’s top flight, featuring as a defender for Valencia CF in La Liga. While detailed current-season statistics are not listed in the latest data, his profile is that of an athletic full-back comfortable in a back four, with experience of high-intensity football in one of Europe’s leading leagues.
His most recent competitive outings for Valencia have come in La Liga, though specific data on his latest match – including opponent, date, scoreline and individual performance – is not provided in the current information. Any decision over a move to Venice would therefore be shaped more by his broader track record than one standout display.
If the Venezia move were to materialise, it could offer Correia a reset in Italy and a platform either to help drive a promotion push or to rebuild his value for a future return to a top-five league.
