Official: Hedwiges Maduro signs for Sevilla

Hedwiges Maduro rejected Valencia CF 2 years contract offer and signed a 3 year contract with one of our rivals Sevilla.

Hedwiges Maduro had offers from Spartak Moscow where Unai Emery went, but he rejected that offer even though it had a bigger salary as he wanted to stay in Spain.

Maduro came to Valencia CF in 2008, but has failed to become a starting eleven player and his decision makes sense, although he is not going to have an easy time against Medel in Sevilla.

Barcelona in negotiations over Jordi Alba

Barcelona FC have started negotations with Valencia CF over the sale of Jordi Alba. Barcelona FC send a 12 million euros offer for Alba, but Valencia CF is set to demand 15 million euros or 12 million euros and Tello.

Barcelona don't want to give any of their players as their squad is already thin enough and are likely to increase their offer, although its not known if they will match the request for 15 million euros.

If Jordi Alba leaves Valencia CF and transfers to Barcelona FC then Valencia CF will turn to Jose Angel and Didav Villa as replacements.

Superdeporte reports how Didac Villa is first on the list to replace Jordi Alba and is likely to be released for 4 to 5 million euros.

Valencia CF transfers so far so good

Valencia CF transfers so far have been amazing with the club bringing 3 new players for a total of 6 million euros.

To find out the latest transfers before they even happen head over to the TRANSFERS page.

Jonathan Viera was signed early this month for a fee of 2.5 million euros. He joins from UD Las Palmas and is one of the biggest talents in Spain right now, many considering him to be the next Silva. He has a direct style of play and while not as technically skilled as Silva, he has flair and more strength and brute force. Great signing for Valencia CF and a talent for the future.

Andred Guardado signed a personal deal with Valencia CF over 6 months ago and will become a Valencia CF player officially on 01.07.2012 when his Deportivo La Coruna contract is officially over, but he is for all intense and purposes a Valencia CF player right now. This means he comes for free and after his best season as a player. He scored 11 goals and provided 12 assists for Deportivo this season. He is a great dribbler with amazing speed and acceleration and has also been representing Mexico since 2005 as well. He featured heavily in the golden cup win in 2011.

Joao Pereira comes from Sporting Lisbon for a fee of 3.5 million euros and at the height of his career. For defenders the years from 28 to 32 are the best and so Pereira comes at such a time. He is an explosive players with great attacking prowess, fast and powerful with great crossing ability. He lacks a bit in the defensive department and sometimes tends to forget himself in attack, but is a powerhouse in attack, while with good defensive tactics he can be reliable in defense as well. On one on one situations he tends to be quite good.

Andres Guardado confirms he is coming to Valencia CF

Andres Guardado confirmed that he is coming to Valencia CF while celebrating Deportivo La Coruna's return to the Spanish premier league or La Liga if you will.

Not that we didn't know for at least 6 months, but its nice to have the official confirmation now.

Soldado left out of Spain's squad for Euro 2012

Soldado left out of Spain's Euro 2012 squad in an unbelievable decision by Del Bosque that has the mediocre Pedro who had the worst season get in, as well as Torres who couldn't even get ahead of 34 years old Drogba and even youngster Daniel Sturidge at Chelsea.

It is now official, Del Bosque has no clue what he is doing and should be sacked immediately after the Euro 2012. He even picked Negredo over Soldado in what is a terrible decision that's shocked the whole world.

I don't see anyone defending his decision to remove Soldado and all over the media and fan sites people are furious over this ridiculous decision.

Jordi Alba did make it though, but I think the decision to leave out Soldado would and should cost Del Bosque his job and probably the title.
