Valencia's strange bet

The day after the agreement between Valencia and the Manchester City by the transfer of Ferran Torres for 25 million plus 12 in variables, he was plagued by opinions to Tall tastes. That the first move of the whole summer in Valencia is get rid from his star youth squad contrast with the Academy-based project that the club sells as the Meriton Youth Policy.

For part of the Valencian environment, having been to hold back to one of the fmost promising footballers of European football would have been the knock on the table to boost the quarry project, by the hand of Javi Gracia, and was also credible.

However, the club detaches Ferran's transfer of the identity of the project already what do you consider which has been Ferran himself the one who hasn't given the club another option to get a deal with him maximum possible income, since he only had one year left on his contract.

In fact, in the within the entity che still follow surprised why the player agent hasn't even sat to listen to them much less to accept a renewal with an affordable clause to leave the next year for a greater quantity, what is popularly known as a 're-sale'.

Therefore, in Meriton already they had this outlet when projecting this quarry policy. And they are based on what they will be this year pillars of the team like Gayà, Carlos Soler or Kang-in Lee himself. And in others that will configure the template as Jaume Domenech, which will provide seniority; or Hugo Guillamónnewly renovated Lato, who will return after his transfer to Osasuna, plus someone else who could be part of the squad and who will bring their freshness and enthusiasm to those who come from below.

Precisely, one of those who is called to carry the wardrobe weight che for years to come, José Luis Gayà, published a message boasting Valencianism on their social networks that many saw Ferran as a stick since it coincided in time with the news of the agreement.

The sale of ferran for 25 million plus 12 in variables, of which they are easy to meet up to five million, the other seven being more difficult to achieve, it is the last of the many what has made the Valencia in this century. In absolute terms, Valencia has entered nearly 195 million in transfers of youth squads since 2000, when I transferred Farinós for 3,000 million pesetas (18 million euros) to Inter.

However, of all those transfers of players formed in Paterna, during the Meriton era, the club has only carried out a large transfer of a youth squad. Paco Alcacer It was sold to Barcelona in 2016 for 30 million plus two in variables, something that cost the first criticism of a club then chaired by Layhoon Chan. Shortly before, Valencia had sold Carles Gil to Aston Villa for 4.5 million euros.
