Negredo quashes Valencia exit rumors

And with Real Madrid still continuing to play hardball over a deal, the Daily Star says Arsenal have been offered a deal for Negredo.

Negredo spent last season on loan at Mestalla from Manchester City and Valencia had an obligation to sign the Spain global on a permanent basis.

Talk of a swift exit comes after the 29-year-old was an unused substitute in Valencia’s 1-0 friendly win over PSV Eindhoven last week.

The Spanish press have recently suggested that Negredo does not feature in Nuno’s long-term plans at Valencia, despite only making his season-long loan permanent at the end of last season. I want to work and continue developing. I’ve been training with a fever for two days and it’s no laughing matter.

In a recent interview, Negredo addressed the transfer rumours and added that the reporters seem to know more than he does because the club has no told him anything about their intention to sell him, if they are. My plan is to stay. The Metro state that they will have to pay City a further £10m in 2016, and that the club wants to spend their money on a player that will be more prolific in front of goal. “The majority of the things said are not true, I read that I was absent and that I wasn’t happy”. “They’ve just exercised the purchase option and it would be odd, but in football anything can happen”.
