His new salary is reportedly bellow 1 million euros, which is a huge cut from his previous contract in which he was in the top 5 earners.

Official: Joma new Valencia CF shirt sponsor

Spanish company Joma has officially signed a deal with Valencia to make the club's kits for the next 5 seasons, until 2016.

VCF's kits for next season will be released on 30 June.

Joma launched a new website to kick start off their new advertising campaign and have an interesting video which shows off few Valencia players going to the field naked.

Joma is a big company, although it is based in the small city Toledo, the company sponsors Sevilla, Getafe and Albacete Balompié in Spain and will now sponsor Valencia CF. Valencia CF is the biggest club right now to wear Joma shirts and as the only team that is going to play in the Champions League that wears the Joma shirts Valencia is surely getting big money, certainly bigger money than it got from Kappa.

Valencia CF transfer news 2011/12

Ah, don't you just love summer. Not only for the hot weather and girls wearing less clothing , but also because of all the interesting transfer talk and speculation going around in the world of football.

Reports from Germany suggest that Hoffenheim, the club Andreas Beck plays for has officially put Andreas Beck on the transfer market in order to get as much money from his transfer as possible. Obviosly Valencia is tracking this player as he is one of the possible candidates to replace Miguel Brito at the right back position.

His current price is about 6 million euros, but with this latest move and call from Hoffeinheim president for offers for the player, who is also part of the German national squad is likely to rise and we are looking at 8-9 million euros.

Other in the news is more reports about Chori Dominguez and his final destination, which as in the movies can't be changed and he is 100% leaving Valencia one way or the other. There have been increasing reports from England that that may be his destination, as well as the older reports of him returning to his previous club Rubin Kazan and even Zenit St. Petersburg.
Right now though its a long shot to predict, but if I had to give an answer I'd have to say he is going to go back to some of his former clubs.

Is he a model, is he a midfielder, is he a goalkeeper?

Last but not least is Valencia CF resident model, part time midfielder and of course he would say goalkeeper, but that is something we Valencia fans have not seen. And this is not making joke on the player, he is actually very good and the times he was on goal this season he was superb, you can check my rating section to see his rank, but he was good, but its more of a poke at the club who often uses him as model, Emery who uses him as midfield, but rarely for the goalkeeper that he is.

Anyways latest reports are that  Zaragoza and Getafe have joined the list of clubs who want to get him in their ranks. Lets not forget that Sevilla are reportedly still keeping a close eye on him, as is his former club Real Mallorca. Right now Moya is worth about 2 million to 2.5 million euros, a far cry from the 5 million Valencia spend to get him.

Official: Vicente Guaita extends stay at Valencia

This is nothing new, basically the contract was already signed and Guaita was staying in Valenica, but this is just the official announcement.

Vicente Guaita contract has been extended to the year 2015, which means he is going to be in Valencia for 4 more years. He will have some additional competition next season in Diego Alves who came from Almeria, although his contract is still not officially presented.

Anyways this summer Moya is set to leave, Renan as well and there is still the discussion of whether Cezar should stay in the club or not.

At the official presentation of Guaita's renewal was Valencia president Manuel Llorente and Mayor María José Catalá. Llorente heaped praise upon Guaita as expected and encouraged him to continue working hard.

It was an emotional day for Vicente Guaita as he cried several times during the ceremony, but I guess its understandable, as he is signing for the one of the best teams in the world, certainly the best team in Spain and who wouldn't get emotional for such an honor.

Kevin Gameiro transfer to be resolved very soon

Last day of the championship on Sunday and the 50th goal of Kevin Gameiro in the colors of FC Lorient in the league, his 22nd of the season. This new realization was not enough to dethrone Lorient striker Moussa Sow, who, at the same time, scored a hat trick (his third this season) against Stade Rennais.

With the French league officially over Kevin Gameiro future at Lorient is set to be resolved in two weeks. Kevin Gameiro wants to transfer to Valencia CF and has told Lorient president about his decision and expects to know about his future in two weeks time, so that he is at ease in the summer.

The problem with the transfer is obviosly the transfer fee. The club want to sell Gameiro, Valencia want to buy him and the player himself wants to join Valencia, but the problem is that Lorient want to get between 10-12 million euros for him, while Valencia are willing to give between 6-7 million euros.

He is a first class striker and Lorient want to sell him, otherwise they would loose him next year for free, so Valencia president must make all efforts to sign him and yet not break the bank, so its a fine balance to keep.

Hopefully Valencia fans would see him at the Mestalla next season as he is one of the best strikers right now in Europe. In fact 11 clubs offered to buy Gameiro, but he reportedly refused all 11 clubs just to come to Valencia.

David Albelda to stay with Valencia

David Albelda had a meeting with Valencia CF president Manuel Llorente last week where they talked about increasing Albelda's contract by one year. Valencia president Llorente put a proposal on the table and its said that Albelda will become from one of the most paid footballers at the club right now to one of the least paid players if he accepts the new proposed contract. In fact the new salary is said to be bellow 1 million euros.

David Albelda has looked at the proposal and talked with his family about it and seems like he is going to accept the new contract in order to continue with Valencia. He has reportedly also had offers from other clubs in Spain, but his wish is to stay at Valencia and finish his career there.

I fully expect Albelda to sign one more year for Valencia CF, but this is football and anything is possible, so until its not official its merely speculations. 

Valencia Mestalla promoted to segunda B

Today Valencia Mestalla won by two goals to zero against Alcobendas Sport and got promoted to segunda B division.
