Javier "Javi" Guerra Moreno (born 13 May 2003) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for La Liga club Valencia.
Guerra was born in Gilet, Valencian Community, and joined Valencia CF's academy in 2019, from Villarreal CF.[2] On 14 May 2021, he signed his first professional contract, with Valencia, until 2024.[3] [4]
Guerra made his senior debut with the reserves on 23 May 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Koba Koindredi in a 1–1 Segunda División B away draw against CE L'Hospitalet, as his side were already relegated. He made his first team debut the following 16 January, replacing fellow youth graduate Hugo Guillamón late into a 1–0 Copa del Rey win over CD Atlético Baleares.[5]
Guerra made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 16 April 2023, replacing Samu Castillejo in a 2–0 home loss against Sevilla FC. Eleven days later, he scored a last-minute winner in a 2–1 home success over Real Valladolid, just minutes after coming on as a substitute.[6]
In May 2023, Guerra further extended his link with the Che until 2027,[7] and was definitely promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2023–24 season.[8] He started the new campaign by scoring the winning goal in the 88th minute in a 2–1 win at Sevilla FC on 11 August, coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.[9]
Guerra was called up to the Spain U19 squad in August 2021.[10]
Guerra is a talented midfielder who can play either in a holding or more advanced position in the midfield. He covers long distances, has a great short game, is great at delivering through balls and has great tackling skills.[1]
