Christian Mosquera trains again at Paterna

Christian Mosquera, Arsenal centre-back, returned to Paterna to train at Valencia’s training ground. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the player worked this Thursday on one of the club’s pitches alongside a readaptation staff member, in facilities he knows well thanks to his academy years.

A familiar stop

This isn’t Mosquera’s first post-Arsenal visit to Paterna, but this time the return was for a specific training session. Mundo Deportivo recalls that he joined the VCF Academy in 2016 and broke into the first team in January 2022, later playing 90 official matches for Valencia before heading to the Premier League.

The link remains

The outlet also points out that Valencia and Arsenal struck an agreement for his transfer in July 2025. His departure was accompanied by a tough Valencia statement explaining that the decision responded to the player’s clear wish not to renew and to join Arsenal exclusively.

Even with that change of stage, the article says Mosquera keeps a close bond with the club’s surroundings. He returns during international breaks and other key moments to see former teammates and stay connected. There is also a family tie: Yulian Mosquera is part of Valencia’s youth set, according to the piece.

What it means

Beyond the session itself, the return underlines that Mosquera still has real ties to Valencia even after the transfer. For now, the report doesn’t mention any new move—only this latest appearance at Paterna, as Mundo Deportivo said.
