Corberan has been the subject of speculation linking to other clubs throughout his time at Albion - with the latest interest in England coming from Southampton.

However, on Monday afternoon it was first reported in the Spanish media La Liga side Valencia had eyes on the Baggies boss to replace Ruben Baraja.

Late on Monday afternoon, it was understood no official bid had been put to Albion, however it was later reported by Spanish outlet Marca that the Mestalla club had met Corberan's £2.8m release clause.

The well respected coach, who took Albion from the foot of the Championship table when he arrived in 2022, to the play-off semi-finals, hails from the Cheste region of Valencia, and was one on the books for the club's B side.

Marca has also reported Corbernan has penned a deal at the La Liga side until June 2027, and is set to take a number of his staff with him including Jorge Alarcon, Rafa Aranda and Damia Abella, according to the reports in Spain.
