The president of Valencia, Anil Murthy, pointed out that the youth squad Carlos Soler and José Luis Gayà, both in the orbit of Barça according to various media and with a contract until June 2023, will be sold this summer due to the pretension and "the ambition" of both for playing in a team of a higher category, of Champions, as revealed by some audios broadcast by the newspaper Superdeporte.
“(Carlos Soler) has been clear since the beginning of this year that he is leaving because he has a lot of ambition. (...) Carlos has been clear about it since the beginning of the season. You have to respect it. They have too much pressure. Carlos has his wife and his relatives, the last thing he wants is to go wrong. He wants to go out well, that his parents want to go out on the street. He wants his family to be okay here,” Murthy noted.
"I totally respect him but 'bring me an offer, if you go out for free in January I'll kill you with all the press, the one hundred thousand euros I'm going to put in... you have to bring money because you've grown up in the academy and the club has invested a lot of money in you ”, said the leader, while de Gayà, captain of Valencia, indicated that he is "ko" for the defeat in the final of the Copa del Rey against Betis, settled on penalties, and for not having reached European positions in the League.
Murthy explained that he "loves" the full-back, but "you have to respect a bit his ambition to play for the national team, to go up to a Champions team". In the audios, the president assumes that the youth squad Jesús Vázquez will occupy the left side of the defense in his place. “José Luis, next year I am going to sign little and you are going to think, what am I doing here?’, He stated in reference to Gayà.
In addition to the cases of Soler and Gayà, Murthy explains in the audios that, forced by economic emergencies, he is going to "cut" the team and also gave his opinion on the team's coach, José Bordalás, with whom he gets along well despite the fact that "has a very complicated character" and is "a bit special".
Following the publication of this information, Valencia issued a statement stating that the audios, recorded at "a meal that took place on April 27 in a restaurant with five Valencian businessmen and the VCF Foundation", "are edited and adulterated to transmit a false or biased idea within the context of a general conversation and try to generate controversy".
Valencia catalogs the action of the sports newspaper as "a serious exercise of lack of professional ethics and an attack on privacy by publishing audios taken out of context, which belong to the private sphere and were recorded illegitimately without the permission of the President of the VCF, Anil Murthy ".
The statement concludes that the leaking of the audios is part of a "smear campaign against Valencia CF" by the sports newspaper "for months". For all these reasons, the club that has put this matter in the hands of Valencia CF's legal services, which are already studying the measures to be taken against Superdeporte and its director.
