Valencia are set to cancel Michy Batshuayi's loan from Chelsea and he could be replaced by Penarol striker Gabriel Fernandez in the January transfer window.
While Batshuayi has been unable to assert himself under Marcelino, there is the hope that Fernandez - who has nine goals in 12 Primera Division games in Uruguay - will be the forward that Los Che need.
The 24-year-old is considered to be one of the best strikers in Uruguay and he would cost no more than four million euros.
Valencia have shown an interest in signing West Ham striker Javier Hernandez on a loan deal, but it can only take place if the Spanish side can offload loanee Michy Batshuayi.
The Mexican has notched four times in the Premier League this term, and proved crucial to Manuel Pellegrini over the festive period, scoring three times last month.
However, any deal for Chicharito would first require Batshuayi to leave the club, with the Spanish side unable to fund the wages for both goal scorers.
