Experienced midfielder on his way out of the club

Valencia midfielder Ruben Baraja is set to leave the club after his contract expires in June. The 34-year-old former Spain international has been at the Mestalla for 10 years and is regarded as a Valencia stalwart. But president Manuel Llorente has now officially confirmed that Baraja will move on after the club decided not to offer him a new deal. Baraja waved to the fans on Tuesday night after Valencia's win over Xerez, indicating he could be on his way, and this has now been confirmed. Premier League clubs Bolton Wanderers, Wigan Athletic and West Ham have all been linked with the midfielder, who will be available on a free transfer. However, his agent Manuel Garcia Quilon has revealed that another Spanish club is also interested in Baraja's signature.
