As earlier reported, Negotiations between Valencia and Cesar were
just ‘a step away’ from conclusion.
Today, an agreement was reached for Cesar to remain at the club
for one more season.
This does not affect the negotiations for Moya as Emery has stated clearly that
Cesar is a part of his team for this coming season.

Valencia coach Unai Emery wants to strengthen his midfield with a player that would
add more quality by providing goals and assists, whilst also providing tactical and physical work.
He
has stated that only 2 players match his profile.
They are Achille Emana and Esteban Granero.
For
reasons more financial than sporting, Valencia will have to make do with just one of them.
Talks for
Granero are on although Getafe are asking for a sum aroun 8 million euros.
Betis on the oher hand are
asking for 15 million for Emana.
In order to sign any of these 2 players, Valencia will need to sell
Edu, Vianna and Banega too both decongest the position and reduce the wage bill.

Despite the dramatic turnaround that Valencia made with Madrid
over David Villa, Madrid has come knocking on Valencia’s door again. This time its Raul Albiol they are
looking to buy.
Madrid have offered 12 Million Euros but Valencia are not willing to leave Albiol for
that price.
It is however said that should Valencia recieve 3 million more on that offer, then Albiol
will definitely be donning the Madrid jersey next season.
Negotiations are on the way and Manuel
Llorente does not want this to prolong hence it might be over in a couple of hours.
Should Fiorention
Perez accept to pay Valencia’s asking price, Albiol might be returning to Madrid from the confederations cup
in South africa.
Valencia have decided that there are replacements for Albiol in Marchena,
Maduro,Alexia, DeAlbert and David Navarro. Hence, they have chosen to sell him over Real Madrid.
Albiol
still has two more years on his contract with Valencia

stated maximum age for transfer targets. Photograph: Franck Fife/AFP/Getty Images
Manchester United have
made a long-term decision not to sign any players aged 26 or above for large transfer fees because of new
financial stipulations that have been put in place at Old Trafford to shape the club’s recruitment policy.
Dimitar Berbatov, who was 27 when he signed from Tottenham Hotspur last September, has been described as the
“last of his kind” in a move that has immediate implications for their attempts to replace Cristiano
Ronaldo.
The restrictions automatically mean that Sir Alex Ferguson’s admiration for Franck Ribéry will
not manifest itself in a concerted attempt to sign the France international. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Bayern
Munich’s chairman, said yesterday that United, Chelsea and Barcelona had all lodged bids but the Premier
League champions say that is not true.
Instead, the policy from now onwards is that the club will have a
strict age-before-ability approach in which they will sign players in big-money deals only if they will retain
a significant market value some years after signing a five- or six-year contract.
Karim Benzema, the
Lyon striker, would fit into their strategy, being 21, but Ribéry is considered too old even though he turned
26 only two months ago and is approaching what are generally considered the best years of a footballer’s
career. United’s thinking is that Ribéry would cost close to £60m and have no significant resale value,
leaving Chelsea, who have tabled a formal bid believed to be around £40m, hopeful of signing the France
international, particularly as Real Madrid’s interest appears to have cooled.
The same policy applies
to David Villa, the outstanding Valencia striker who is on the market at the age of 27 for a fee of around
£45m, as well as the man who scored the first goal against United in the Champions League final, Barcelona’s
28-year-old forward Samuel Eto’o. Both are ruled out unless there is a rethink at Old Trafford.
United
are aware that the policy may not go down well with those supporters who are expecting high-profile
replacements to fill the void left by Ronaldo’s impending world-record transfer to Real Madrid. However, the
club insists it makes sound business sense not to bring in a player for £30m or more who cannot be sold for
another high valuation some years after signing his contract.
This explains why United did not make any
effort to sign Kaka, the Brazil international and former world footballer of the year, when he became available
for £59m from Milan, even though Ferguson has now admitted he knew for virtually all of last season that
Ronaldo would be leaving this summer. Kaka was 27 in April and that does not fit into United’s strategy of not
buying expensive players whose values will then plummet.
Berbatov was considered an exception to the
rule when he signed for £30.75m but Ferguson is now working under the knowledge that his chief executive, David
Gill, and the club’s American owners, the Glazer family, expect him to pursue younger players who could
conceivably make the club a profit.
Ronaldo was 18 when he signed from Sporting Lisbon for £12.2m six
years ago and United, despite being renowned for wanting to keep their better players, are placing a heavy
emphasis on bringing in people who could feasibly make them money. The policy has been gradually evolving over
recent years, with Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra, Michael Carrick, Anderson and Nani all 25 and below when they
were signed.
United are now targeting Antonio Valencia, Wigan Athletic’s 23-year-old Ecuador
international, to take over from Ronaldo on the right side of their attack but face competition for the
23-year-old from Madrid and an unnamed club, believed to be Bayern Munich. “It all rests on where the lad wants
to go to: Man United, Real Madrid or the other European club,” said Wigan’s chairman, Dave Whelan. “We can’t
force him where to go. We will have a meeting with United and Real Madrid in the next three or four days, see
what offers are on the table and then present them to the lad and he will decide where he wants to go or if he
wants to go. We would never stop a player from going to a top club. The lad comes back from holiday this
weekend and I expect it will be another 10 to 14 days before a deal is done.

The Spanish midfielder preferred not to think about the Valencia
statement that declared him Untransferable’ and stated that he currently wants to focus on the Confederations
cup with La Sellecion.
Speaking about speculations linking him with Real Madrid and Man United, David
Silva said “What is more important for me right now is the Spanis Seleccion.I only want to speak about the
present.The future will be.”
Silva recently recovered from a muscular injury and he stated that “Im
getting better little by little.I had a few minutes and I felt okay.I hope to be 100% by this
week.”
Vicente Del Bosque gave Silva a few minutes in the match against New Zealand.
Spain will
face Iraq today and Hosts South Africa on Saturday

Sergio sanchez has told his agents that should he leave Espanyol,
he would love to head to the Mestalla.
The player’s agent will meet with Sepanyol sporting Director
Ramón Plans not to ask for an exorbitant amount.
Valencia have offered 3 Million Euros + players for the
right back.
Valencia want to seal this deal before the end of the U-21 European championship to avoid a
re-evaluation of the player but Espanyol is in no such hurry.
Fernando Gomez has not disclosed the
length of the contract but the players representative has said it would be between the range of 4 – 6
years.
For now, it is left to both clubs to come to an agreement because Sanchez has stated clearly : He
wants to play for Valencia
