Valencia
have told Arsenal that they should not waste their time on star full-back Jose Luis Gaya as he is not going to
leave them in the summer, according to Metro.
Arsenal have been targeting Jose Luis Gaya since the winter window and were planning to seal his deal in the summer despite of strong interest from Real Madrid.
But
with the latest comments from President Amadeo Salvo, the player is likely to
stay at Valencia.
Amadeo
Salvo told Spanish media that they have no plans to sell their star player,
they will not even discuss on this topic.
“Valencia fight for
their rights as it has always done. The player is not for sale and we will not
negotiate.”
Salvo
further added that the player is happy and will stay.
“His intention is to
stay and he will continue with us.”
Valencia
are already famous for developing talented full-backs, Jordi Alba is one of the example who is now a regular for Barcelona.
The
Spanish youngster who has been tipped as the next big star has a current £13.5million buy out clause which would be double
if he pens a new deal.
Meanwhile, Manchester
City are also keeping tabs on the player who has featured 25 times this season
for the La Liga side.
Valencia
might seal his new deal and even he would stay this summer but a big fee is surely
waiting for him in the future as big giants Real Madrid and Manchester City both are keen to land Arsenal target.
