Jonas could leave in January

Tottenham and Liverpool interested in Jonas
Valencia CF striker Jonas Goncalves could very well be on his way out of Valencia CF this winter transfer season. Internal sources have it that the coach and staff are not pleased with Jonas performances this season and his recent stunt after being substituted hasn't gone too well with the club and staff.

Several clubs have shown interest in Jonas Goncalves in the past including Tottenham and more recently Liverpool. Both these teams have lack of strikers and are seriously considering making a move for Jonas in the winter transfer market.

I have Jonas valued at 10 million euros in my last update and this could be a realistic price for English teams who have significantly more resources than Spanish clubs.

Feghuoli contemplating a move to PSG

Sofiane Feghuoli to transfer to PSG?
Reports coming out of France suggest that PSG are interested in acquiring the services of Sofiane Feghuoli, Valencia's sole right winger at the moment with Piatti still injured.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi refused to rule out moving for the Algerian international when asked about the youngster over the weekend.

He told Le Buteur: “All I can say is that we have established a list of Arab talents that interest us and the player you quote is a part of it."

“It will be a positive for PSG to have Arabs in their ranks.  We are looking at options to sign one or two quality Arab players who can bring something more to the team.”

When asked about the PSG interest in him Feghuoli said: " I'm flattered by PSG interest in me, but out of respect for Valencia CF and the fans I won't talk about it, but I'd be glad to return to Paris, its my city.

I feel very happy here at Valencia CF, we are playing each year at the top level and in European competitions, and right now my agent is negotiating with Valencia CF to extend my contract."

Valencia CF considering Oriol Romeu

Valencia CF are seriously considering making a move for Chelsea's defensive midfielder Oriol Romeu. The club knows it needs another defensive midfielder with only Albelda being one, and they are also looking at a potential long term solution as Albelda's replacement and here is where Oriol Romeu comes in. He is a talented young defensive midfielder that can also play as a central defender and that suits Valencia CF as they can tackle two birds with one stone. He would also come cheap as he has barely featured only once so far for Chelsea, so its clear he is not in the plans of Di Mateo and so getting him would be relatively easy.

He used to play for Barcelona B team and was and still is considered big talent. The fact that he hasn't featured much might be regressing his skills a bit, but Valencia CF would want to make a move for Oriol Romeu in the winter transfer market. 

He is still 21 years of age, so a potential future star and considering Valencia CF has very little money to spend this is the ideal transfer target right now.

Valencia CF interested in Bruno Martins Indi

Valencia CF is interested in Bruno Martins Indi from Feynord who plays as a center back or even left back at Feynord. He was born in Portugal, but basically lived his whole life from a baby in Holland. He has also featured for the Dutch national team as well five times, as well as the Dutch youth teams on U-19 and U-17.

His contract is set to expire in 2016, though as a relative unknown and young player, Valencia CF is betting on acting swift and fast and getting him on the cheap. Transfermarkt values him at 3 million euros, though he is likely to cost less realistically.


Jonas fined for his bad reaction

Jonas Goncalves was fined by Valencia CF for his nervous reaction after being substituted by the coach around the 70th minute in the match vs Atletic Bilbao. His fine is purely financial, though he was punished by the coach as well by not having his in the team for Bate Borisov.

The coach was also stern that this should not happen to anyone else and that consequences will be serious.


Tino Costa called to Argentina national team

Valencia CF midfielder Alberto Tino Costa has received for the second time a call up to the Argentinian national squad for their friendly match against Saudi Arabia.

Fernando Gago is a standard player for Argentina and has been called again of course. Ever Banega used to feature for Argentina as well, but with his injury he has lost his place and will need to prove himself again, probably in competition now with his clubmate Tino Costa.
