The Argentine knows that the team is more important than the individual, and has adjusted his game accordingly…

Valencia midfielder Ever Banega has revealed his disappointment at missing out on the Argentina squad again, declaring that he will continue to work hard with los Che in order to persuade Diego Maradona that he can perform to an international standard.

The 21-year-old told AS that he thought “the chance had come to be able to play” for Argentina against Spain this weekend, but he was disappointed to learn that Maradona looked to other options instead.

Nonetheless, he feels that his game has improved this season as he looks to “win the ball back and quickly give it to those up front” in order to start counterattacks.

Banega is happy in his role of “helping the defence” and insists that he is not “uncomfortable” adopting a more withdrawn role. This is largely down to his belief that he is in the team “to help the collective, which comes before the individual”.

The Argentine has featured on a regular basis for los Che this season, and is the only player apart from Juan Mata who has started all ten league fixtures

In a bid to keep the star happy he has been given more money. However, the other terms of his contract have been frozen…

Valencia starlet Juan Mata has penned a new deal with the club, which will see his salary rise in an attempt to keep him happy at the Mestalla.

Los Che are well aware that a large bid for any of their stars would be difficult to resist, but they are determined to try and keep them from being tempted to actively seek a transfer.

Mata was one of the lowest paid members of Unai Emery’s squad under the previous terms of his agreement, and that was beginning to cause some concern.

Now his father and agent, Juan Manuel Mata, has negotiated a new contract that sees his son’s pay increase. However, the expiry date of the deal – 2012- has not altered.

The buy-out clause also stays the same, with a release triggered by a bid of €90 million.

“This is the price for the excellent two seasons that the kid has enjoyed developing at the club,” Mata’s dad was quoted as saying by AS.

“We are satisfied after the last meeting.”

Mata joined Valencia in 2007 after being allowed to leave the Santiago Bernabeu having risen through Real Madrid’s youth team ranks.

Now having progressed from the Under-21 side to the full team at international level, the 21-year-old is seen as one of the league’s best young forwards

After Sunday’s performance which included 2

help Valencia to success this season.

Vicente Soriano is now the new owner of Valencia CF.

He has

purchased 51% of Valencia shares with the aid of an American investment group whose identity is still

anonymous.

Vicente Soriano purchased the shares owned by former president Juan Soler and Vicente

Silla.

All this have happened following a month of Manuel Llorente in power.

Soriano intends to

regain power at the helms of Valencia CF.

He will be making an official return at a press conference

scheduled for Monday,

Valencia coach Unai Emery has already began to build

for next season, and it appears that he is involved in consultation with Sporting Gijon regarding Michel and

Roberto Canella, with a view to bringing them to the Mestalla.

AS reports that the departure of Italian

Emiliano Moretti means los Che have a lack of cover on their left flank, and full-back Canella could be the

answer to that particular dilemma.

The 21-year old has been linked with a move to Valencia in previous

seasons, but now Emery wants to conclude a deal to purchase the promising Spaniard.

Midfielder Michel

could also be joining his compatriot at the Mestalla, with the 24-year-old acting as cover for the central

midfield positions

Emiliano Moretti’s Brother, Andrea, said on Thursday that there

is continued negotiations with Genoa .

He made these statements in the Italian newspaper ‘La

Repubblica’ and said that Genoa is ‘very close’ to signing the Italian left back and that there should be

positive news in the coming days.

With these statements, it is very likely that the Italian will return

to the Serie A.

/>

Nikola Zigic might be staying at Valencia,unless a very good offer comes for the Serbian

striker.

Zigic never fitted into Emery’s plans thus he had to go on loan to Racing where the striker

bagged a couple of goals during his brief stint.

Manuel Llorente and Fernando Gomez have hinted Unai

emery that the Serb might have to stay with Los Che.

Valencia midfielder is close to a move to Real Betis.

It is

expected that Betis will pay the total of 700,ooo euros for his medical examination.

On the other hand

Carlos Bellvis could play next season in Tenerife.

The Spaniard, who can play either in left midfield or

at left back, will be allowed to move for free, even though he still has one year left on his

contract.

The 24 year old has played the last three season on loan. He was at Elche from 2006-2008, and

at Numancia last season.
