Patience: the key in Guedes transfer

Patient. That is the key that Mateu Alemany focused on in yesterday's press conference to deal with the transfer of Gonçalo Guedes. The general director of Valencia, who reviewed the club's current situation ahead of the transfer window, emphasized his position on this matter: "We have to wait. Guedes would like to stay. But there is an element that we do not control, which is PSG. Patience will be a key word in the market."

In fact, despite the good relationship between the presidents of both teams, the Parisians are posing a major obstacle to deal with. The offer from Valencia resolves PSG's financial problem, but they want to extract a higher amount for the Portuguese, who was signed just a year and a half ago for €30 million. Valencia has stood firm at €40 million and they don't want to move from that amount. L'Equipe has deemed it insufficient for the French club, which, after the confirmation of Thomas Tuchel as the new coach, is starting to make moves for the different players and is directly facing the player's future.

The PSG expects an effort from Valencia

The French club does not want to show any weakness and has already set the negotiations at a payment of €80 million. An exorbitant amount that Valencia cannot access in any way and that would prevent them from keeping the winger in the season of their return to Europe, just when it is most necessary for the club to have players of that high profile in the squad.

However, the report suggests that an agreement could be reached if Valencia were to give in with a definitive push to the operation and put €50 million on the table. A higher amount than initially planned, but it would unlock the situation for the player, whose value could increase after the World Cup in Russia. Valencia is playing its cards with this in mind, which is why they are pressuring PSG to make a decision before the end of June.
