The stagnation in the negotiations between the black and white club and Sporting Lisbon over the French midfielder leads to the loss of two contracts that Rubén Baraja already had.
Information close to Valencia CF confirmed that Peter Lim had already promised two important signings for Rubén Baraja. They would enter this winter market and it would be a right winger and a center forward. Unfortunately for the coach and the team, the operations cannot be carried out, at least for the time being.
The main reason these Peter Lim signings are not getting the green light is the fact that Koba Koindredi sales are stagnant. In recent days he asked Sporting Lisbon about the talented midfielder who stands out at Estoril Praia, where he plays on loan. However, the negotiations could not take place for economic reasons.
Baraja hopes that Koba will be sold in order to carry out the signings promised by Rubén Baraja
If everything goes as the coach expects, the first new addition to the Che team will be striker Rafa Mir. It's no secret to anyone that the man from Cartagena has left a strong impression in the Valencian environment. His desire to return to the Mestalla, coupled with his discomfort with the Sevilla FC squad, makes the operation seem fluid.
As a second offensive reinforcement, the Valladolid coach expects Peter Federico González, a pure talent from Real Madrid Castilla. The right winger, who also plays on the left side and even as a winger, has a talent that is already low in the Primera RFEF. His move to Valencia excited him, but he has to postpone his trip to the city of Turia.
What is the problem with Koba that makes Peter Lim reluctant?
The Black and Whites valued their midfielder at 10 million euros from the start, a more than fair price for a young talent. The Portuguese club did not protest and offered 5 kilos for a percentage of its sports rights. In the Che Club they agreed to this amount and suggested 50%. But the surprise came when the sports director of the León team demanded 80%.
This is the main drawback of the agreement between Valencia CF and Sporting Lisbon regarding the signing of Koba Koindredi. So only one thing is seriously affected by this disagreement: the Che team, which will be left without the two new signings that Peter Lim had already approved. There are still about 2 weeks until the winter market closes.
