Valencia sporting director Fernando Gomez has admitted
the club may have to cash in on David Villa and David Silva this
summer.
There has been constant speculation about the future of the
Spain duo in recent months as rumours persist the club will have to
sell key players to ease their substantial debts.
And, while Fernando has vowed to battle to keep them at the
Mestalla, he admits they may have no option but to allow them
to leave.
"The fans know that we will do all we can to keep them here, but
we cannot rule anything out because of our financial situation,” he
said.
“We have to put the future of Valencia first.”
Asked if failing to qualify for the Champions League next season
would make it impossible to retain the duo, Fernando added: “It
would be difficult but not impossible.”
