Erik Lira's agent meets with Braulio Vázquez at Paterna

Erik Lira's agent met with Valencia's sporting director; new manager Javier Aguirre praised the Mexican midfielder but stopped short of confirming interest.

The 26-year-old Cruz Azul midfielder has been linked with Valencia before, but interest has intensified since Javier Aguirre's appointment as manager. Aguirre, a fellow Mexican, praised Lira's qualities in his presentation but said he needs time to assess the club's situation before making transfer decisions.
