Joan Laporta and Anil Murthy met this Monday in Barcelona to talk about two names for the next transfer market: José Luis Gayà and Carlos Soler. The president of Valencia, accompanied by counselor Joey Lim, requested a meeting with his counterpart in Barcelona to find out the intentions of the Catalan club of include the winger in the operation Carlos Solerbut met with Laporta’s refusal.
Fran Guaita, in ‘El Larguero’ of the TO BEI think that you have to be “unconscious” to go right now “to Barcelona to offer Gayà and Soler”. He compared the situation to that of a few years ago, when “Laporta, Rosell and Txiki went to Valencia for Albelda, Ayala and Aimar”. The fact that now it is the president of the ché group who is going to Barcelona “to see to what extent they can make an offer for Gayà and Soler”, at a tense moment for the entity due to the leaking of compromised audios of Murthy, shows that Anil “doesn’t care what happens here”.
For Guaita, “He is the most unworthy president in the history of Valencia“. In that meeting, Laporta would have affirmed that “right now they cannot” undertake that operation because they do not have money. But yes that “has offered Dest, Riqui Puig and Braithwaite“, which the journalist of the TO BE considered that it is “a humiliation”. “I would have immediately gotten up from the table and left, but since Peter Lim is a friend of Laporta’s…”, she explained.
“It will be very difficult for someone not to stand in the Mestalla box…”
“If they get rid of either of them in such an operation, by discarded Barça players It will be very difficult for someone not to stand at the door of the Mestalla box to prevent them from entering”, he assured. Jordi Martí reminded him that “when Barça and Valencia have agreed to make up the accounts or make some accounting artifice they have agreedthey have given each other a hand”, in reference to the exchange between Neto and Cillesen.
However, for Guaita it is not comparable. “That change was goalkeeper for goalkeeper, not captain by dismissal. They have a way to sign them, which is to pay what they ask for. Anil would have sold Guedes, Maxi Gómez… He believes that Valencia cannot afford to have such costly players and that he has not sold them because Peter Lim will not let him”, he concluded.
