OFFICIAL STATEMENT | JUSTIN DE HAAS

Valencia CF has reached an agreement for the signing of Justin de Haas through to 2030.

The Dutch centre-back (Zaandam, 1 February 2000) joins the Club on a four-year deal after the expiration of his contract with FC Famalicão, where he established himself as one of the standout players in his position in the Portuguese top flight since arriving in 2023.

At 26 years of age, Justin de Haas stands out for his ability to build play from the left side of defence, as well as for his effectiveness in defensive situations. Standing at 1.94 metres tall, his physical presence combined with his composure on the ball makes him a modern centre-back capable of bringing reliability, solidity, balance and progression to Valencia CF's defensive line.

During the 2025-26 season, in which FC Famalicão finished fifth in the Portuguese league, De Haas was an indispensable player for his manager. The Dutchman made 33 league appearances, all as a starter, playing every minute of those matches and contributing six goals—figures that also highlight his impact in the opposition's penalty area.

A former Netherlands youth international at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 level, Valencia CF's new signing came through the academies of AZ Alkmaar, PSV Eindhoven and Dinamo Zagreb before making the step into professional football in Croatia with NK Lokomotiva Zagreb.
