Valencia led by its technical secretary Michelangelo Crown He has been combing the transfer market for weeks, especially those players whose contract ends next summer and in 2023. in the club they want know to the last detail of the potential market opportunities and for this reason the technical secretary of Valencia has been meeting with the environment of different footballers in the last weeks.
The first with whom they maintained contact was with Joselu, Alaves striker. The player wanted to come to Valencia and the che made him a succulent offer that he welcomed while he was also auctioned off in other clubs such as Celta or Espanyol. Finally, the striker points to Cornellá when considering Valencia that has exceeded its demands and when considering the striker that he could not wait any longer.
The other player with whom Valencia has had serious conversations is with Pears Milla. Football player received in January the call from Valencia and since then contacts have intensified to the point of have an agreement in principle for three seasons and a higher salary than the one currently in Elche. Bordalás likes Pere, he fits into the club financially and the player presses to close his signing since at 29 years of age next June, the player considers that he is free having refused to renew with Elche.
Nevertheless, in the franjiverde club they don’t think the same since he considers that there is a clause in his contract by which rwould renew until 2023 in case of permanence in First. In fact, they would be willing to go to trial it is included sue the team to sign himif there is no agreement, as jointly and severally liable for the matter. This could complicate the signing of the Catalan in the event that Elche materializes salvation.
The matter is that Valencia combs the market, but at the moment it is not willing to close any operation. First of all, because still he doesn’t know in which competition he will be in next year and it is at the expense of the Copa del Rey final, although from the entity they allude that it will not have an excessive influence on economic planning. Second, because Anil Murthy is due to meet with Peter Lim either in person or by videoconference, to wield the template plan they have projected for the next campaign. Be from that moment when Corona and company can close operations that little by little they are agreeing, however, until that happens, the only thing that the technical secretary can, should and is doing is to gather information and in some cases, such as that of Pere Milla, reach pre-agreements.
What is the problem? That for the players who are going to be free in 2022 time is short. It was the case of Joselu and it is, for example, the case of Pere Milla that although he has already spoken with Bordalás, he is aware that nothing is closed and that he is playing without a contract for 2022/2023. Until Peter Lim does not give the ‘ok’ to the next season project (not to the Pere Milla operation itself), in the club that comb the market and advance or discard operations, but do not close any operation. A clear example of the former is Xeka, Lille midfielder with whom Valencia has spoken, what would you like to sign but what he is not convinced to wait for the club, despite the fact that the club has not ruled him out. And a clear example of the latter is Patriccenter-back for Lazio, with whom met Corona three weeks ago when their agents the same ones who were already in Valencia at Christmas to try to close the operation, they moved to Valencia and where the negotiation attempt did not come to fruition “Valencia is no longer an option for Patric” they confirmed to AS weeks ago from the player’s environment.
