Valencia CF, FCC, and Bertolin have all agreed to halt construction. There is no scheduled date for the

resumption of work on the stadium. It is also worth noting that the land that the Nou Mestalla sits on is still

owned by the Municipality of Valencia, and not Valencia CF. Only a partial payment has been made on the

land.

The overall cost of the land is €45 million. Valencia CF has paid €28 million, leaving €17 left to

be paid. In regards to the stadium and the construction workers, Valencia CF owes €14 million, and after

February 28 will owe an additional €5 million, bringing the total cost to €19 million.

Vicente Soriano

is still adamant that the land on which the old Mestalla sits will be sold soon. He is hoping to get up to €315

million.

The club is also adamant in the fact that the Nou Mestalla will be ready for the start of the

2010-2011 campaign.
