Despite securing Champions League qualification this season, Valencia need to balance the books if they are to satisfy Financial Fair Play regulations.

As such, they would be open to selling one of their prized assets, who made 26 appearances in Serie A this season.

Tuttosport claims that the Bianconeri could make a cash-plus-player offer to Valencia in a bid to drive down the price.

Pjaca, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Schalke following an injury-blighted time in Turin, would be the most likely make-weight in any potential deal.

However, the name of squad player Stefano Sturaro is also mentioned as a candidate to make the switch to Spain.
