Transfer Rumours Valencia CF

They do it in their current club Lorient, so do men of weight in his other suitors, Bordeaux and Lille, and even the french national team.

Laurent Blanc trainer of the french nationals used his appearance on the show ‘Le Grand Forum “chain gala’ Infosport ‘to offer his view on the transfer drama unfolding.

“The most important thing is to go to a big club” in reference to Valencia CF, “because many talents like Kevin can. The main thing is whether they have gone into the project for the future of the club, ”

Coach Gallo advised the 23-year forward “to talk with the coach.” According to Blanc, “only” Emery “can tell you what to expect” with competitors such as Aduriz and Soldado already entrenched in their positions. Sitting on the bench all season would not benifit the young strikers development.

A problem, of course, not considered in the case of Adil Rami, who Blanc personally recommended to sign for Valencia, considering he has already peaked in the Ligue 1 at age 26.

External rumours aside, those who have the most to talk about are the parties involved.

“The contacts have not yet finished. No news at this time, negotiation is presented slowly, “was one of the phrases that the newspaper L’Equipe yesterday put into the mouth of Manuel Llorente, flatly denied from Valencia.

The truth is that Llorente has added a new variable in the negotiations to try to top it.

The proposal close to EUR 7 million was not enough to seal the transfer of French youth international, the top leader has put on the table the possibility that Lorient get a percentage of any future transfer fee to another club.

Needless to say the drama continues.

Valencia are on the brink of signing Almeria goalkeeper Diego Alves.

AS says the Brazilian is close to agreeing personal terms with Valencia.

But all signs are that Alves will join Valencia before the market shuts at the end of the month.

Why we would pay 4 million for Diego Alves plus a player is beyond me.

Is he really better than Guaita and Moya?

This is the goalie that let 8 goals past him against Barca.

I personally would hold on to Moya and make Guaita our new #1.

Birmingham City midfielder Sebastian Larsson could sign a pre-contract with Valencia is the latest rumour.
