Once the match against Cádiz ended in which Valencia did not go beyond the draw, the Mestalla entity has come forward to make a public statement after a busy week in the extra sport. Beyond knowing the fact that the Che have the lowest salary limit in LaLiga (30 million), the actuality that has been marked by a purchase proposal by Miguel Zorío to Peter Lim and for the first time in years, the Asian mogul has made his thoughts known.
And it is that Valencia has prepared an official statement in which it makes it clear that “Valencia is not for sale” and that “Peter Lim reiterates his commitment and involvement as the maximum shareholder”. The response of the Asian magnate comes to a large extent from Zorío's statement in which he indicated that he had spoken “with a friend of Lim's” and that he had informed him that the maximum shareholder che “I welcomed this offer.”
According to the statement, nothing is further from reality: “Regarding the statements that point to an alleged” friend “of Peter Lim, the maximum shareholder wishes to clarify that he does not know which friend he is referring to“dictates the official brief. The lines conclude by noting that Peter Lim pretends to be “clear and transparent”, a new way of acting after years in which hardly any messages had arrived from Singapore despite the infinity of rumors that had occurred.
The official statement:
Once the game this Saturday against Cádiz CF has been played in which the Club had its full attention, Valencia CF wants to clarify:
1. Valencia CF is not for sale, not even a part of the shareholding package of its largest shareholder.
2. Peter Lim reiterates his commitment and involvement as the maximum shareholder, an example of this is the capital increase proposal that must be approved at the next Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting.
3. Regarding the statements that point to an alleged “friend” of Peter Lim, the majority shareholder wishes to clarify that he does not know which friend he is referring to.
4. Even in the hypothetical case that such offer existed, it would be rejected.
The intention of the maximum shareholder with this statement is to be clear and transparent in the face of false statements that aim to deceive Valencianism and destabilize the Club.
