The Spanish international could leave Valencia CF in the last weeks of the market
Carlos Soler is still for sale and Atlético de Madrid is one of the teams interested in signing him. They are not the only ones, as there are many who closely follow the player, who in recent years has been one of the leaders of Valencia CF. Something that has served to establish himself as one of the fixtures on Luis Enrique’s lists, pointing directly to the next World Cup in Qatar.
However, it is possible that the footballer arrives at the World Cup wearing colors other than those of Valencia CF. In fact, at the beginning of summer, the player was about to change his mind. The season did not end well for them, losing the Copa del Rey and with the dismissal of Bordalás, which caused the player asked to leave due to the lack of a project entrenched.
Carlos Soler was about to sign for Atlético de Madrid
In the same way, Valencia CF urgently needed to obtain income and Carlos Soler seemed to be the one to leave. The two clubs that showed the most interest in the player were Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona. However, the azulgranas seemed to be the player’s preferred option, which even had the approval of Xavi. But the operation depended on De Jong’s departure to Manchester United.
His signing for Atlético de Madrid was totally different. The club was willing to make an economic payment for the player, but the figure was far from what Valencia CF was asking for. While the rojiblancos barely exceeded 15 million euros, the Valencianists asked for an amount close to 30 million. Something that ended up completely paralyzing the operation.
Atlético returns to the fray for Carlos Soler
Now, the operation will be even more complicated for Atlético. Just a few days ago we learned that the Valencianists had sold Guedes for more than 30 million euros, so there are no longer so many financial emergencies at the club. That is why, if no club offers what they ask for Carlos Soler, the footballer will not leave this summer, since he still has a signed contract with the team.
For its part, Atlético continues to lighten its squad and we recently learned that Wass has left the club. In this way, Carlos Soler sees a new gap open for him in Simeone’s team, which will once again compete for all the titles. Just what the Spanish international wants, which could be key for the operation to close for around 25 million euros.
