The president of Valencia, Anil Murthy, assured that in the case of Ferran Torres It was the Valencian player who chose to leave despite the fact that the club presented him with several renewal proposals, although he believes that they have made the most of it.
“He chose to leave. Until last September we were talking about a new contract and had some offers from the club to renew. But if you do not reach an agreement, the club has the responsibility of ensuring the maximum benefits from the sale of the player, something that we have achieved in the case of Ferran ”, he explained in an interview in 'Batzine', a fanzine authorized by the club and that is done from Asia in English.
In the interview, Murthy, who has not granted one to local media for months, analyzes economic issues and assures that “with or without a pandemic, the current model was unsustainable for European football “ and said the club has spent over its limit in the last two years.
With the uncertainties that we face in this unprecedented stage, the only prudent thing is to maintain a very competitive team and maintain financial margin to protect the club, “he said.
Murthy said that if he were a fan he would feel that the economic aspects are not his concern but said that if they are not solved “we cannot talk about the sports side of things.”
