The deal is expected very soon - tomorrow morning in Barcelona, which is only in a few hours.
ELMER POLANCO PLUS
Hugo Ballester of Cadena COPE, Diario Sport and ESPN's Elmer Polanco have reported the fee is 30 million euro plus 5 in variables, while Jordi Blanco, writing for ESPN Deportes, says the fee is 35 million with Sergi Samper and "probably" also Munir El-Haddadi included. If that's the case, that gives Valencia the chance to spin it as their hands being tied. So while both the club (to a point) and the player wanted the move to happen, neither wants to be seen as the one forcing the issue.Ĭadena SER and Mundo Deportivo now report Alcacer has made a plea directly to Valencia's president Lay Hoon Chan. But Paco himself didn't want to become a scapegoat. Word is they wanted Alcacer to publicly plead for the move, to make him "the bad guy" and thus stay in the fans' good graces. But, the top brass at Valencia don't want the fans to lose faith as another top player is sold off. We told you earlier about the report that Valencia was split on whether to allow the sale of Alcacer to Barcelona to go through, with owner Peter Lim in favor and the board against.īasically Valencia needs the money, and Barcelona are offering a generous amount. The Paco Alcacer saga could finally, finally, be done.
