Valentín Vada (Spanish pronunciation: [balenˈtim ˈbaða];[a] born 6 March 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Spanish club UD Almería as a midfielder.[1]

Club career

Vada’s move to France was controversial. In 2010 at the age of 14 as a minor, his arrival from a non-EU country was against the laws governing the movement of underage players. Italian heritage ameliorated those concerns eventually, but Vada was unable to play in any competitive matches, even for the “B” team until he turned 17.[2]

Vada made his Ligue 1 debut on 13 December 2015 against Angers SCO replacing Nicolas Maurice-Belay after 79 minutes.[3] He scored his first professional goals on 8 April 2017, netting a brace in a 3–0 home defeat of FC Metz.

On 31 January 2019, the last day of the 2018–19 winter transfer window, Vada joined Bordeaux's league rivals AS Saint-Étienne on loan until the end of the season.[4] On 23 August, he agreed to a five-year contract with Segunda División side UD Almería.[5]
