Former Valencia president
Vicente Soriano has stated that the club are under no pressure to
sell their stars after receiving a €500million (£432m)
boost.
The Primera Division side have struggled financially of late and
further players were expected to leave this summer after
Raul Albiol
was sold to Real Madrid.
Attackers
David Villa
and
David Silva
have both been linked with big-money moves away from Los Che, but
Soriano has eased fears of an exodus.
Soriano has regained control at Valencia and revealed on Monday
evening that an investment group, Inversiones Dalport SA, is
willing to pay €500m for the site of the club's old Mestalla
stadium.
"The grand Valencia project was held up by the economic crisis,"
Soriano said in quotes carried in the Spanish media.
"The club had a serious liquidity problem which paralysed its
plan for growth. The very existence of Valencia was under threat
but this is no longer the case."
He added at a press conference: "We will not be obliged to
sell."
