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.

out any improvement on the current contract held by Carlos Marchena.

increase should go to young players that have performed beyond what is expected of them”.
Panathanaikos
have expressed interests in the Valencia Center Back and will make a formal offer in a few
days.
Panathanaikos are willing to offer Valencia 5 Million Euros and the player 2 Million Euros per
season.

Real Madrid have been trying to reinforce
their squad and Its no news that they have been looking at the Mesteella to increase their Spanish
contigent.
First it was Davis Villa, then Albiol, then David Silva and then Mata.
They have been
successful with Stealing Albiol but they still want more from Valencia.
Albiol was presented Day before
yesterday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, the Davis Villa deal failed forcing Madrid to look the way
of Karim Benzema.
Madrid have then turned their attention to Frank Ribery. But with Bayern outrightly
saying they WONT sell to Real Madrid, the option is David Silva.
They hope to use Negredo as a bait for
his former coach Unai Emery.
Emery has since said that he wants Negredo with Los Che.
Emery has
however stated that there will be no new transfers until some players have been sold off.
