According to Valencia’s Cadena SER, Iago and Valencia president, Manuel Llorente reached the agreement for the star to join the club at the opening of the summer transfer window and the club has communicated their intentions with Celta Vigo, in hopes of reaching an amicable transfer agreement by meeting his buyout clause of €10 million.

Valencia, at the moment, don’t have the proper funding and will undoubtedly need to sell two or three players this summer in order to secure Aspas.

The club hopes to pay the transfer fee in June, in order to avoid additional taxes, which would increase the amount by almost 50%, to €14.8 million.

However, Aspas’ agent, his brother Jonathan Aspas has denied such a deal has taken place and claims to have no knowledge about the agreement.
