• Opinion: Life without Rodrigo

The puzzle to dress Rodrigo Moreno of Blaugrana still does not fit. The operation has been on the table of Valencia and FC Barcelona for a week and the agreement fails to close for the price: 60 million euros. If yesterday they were the Valencian president, Anil Murthy , and the agent Jorge Mendes who traveled to Barcelona to try to give him a push, today he has been the striker himself, for other reasons.

The footballer did not train with the rest of his teammates and traveled with Cillessen and Manu Vallejo to Barcelona to pass knee revision with Doctor Cugat , the external doctor who advises Valencia. The forecast is that he returns after the consultation, but Albert Celades has left him out of the call for the round of 16 match of the Cup that will play this Wednesday in Leon against the Cultural . "I was scheduled to have this review and not travel in the Cup. He made a very big effort to help us on Saturday, but that's fine," the coach confirmed.

What Celades no longer denied is that the negotiation is underway and that the forward is a very important player. " Rodrigo is a differential player, that is why Barcelona wants it. We all know that there is a negotiation going on and we will not hide it," admitted the Catalan, who has talked with the player about the situation. But he just wanted to reveal and dodged the rest of the questions about the market.

Players to downgrade

The position of Barça is not to pay 60 million for Rodrigo, to try to obtain a transfer until June in exchange for players who can reduce that amount in case Valencia remains firm in its position to agree on a sale that would accept to be executed in June .

Given the Valencian refusal to accept the inclusion of youth players such as the young Valencian striker Abel Ruiz, the possibility of including Nelson Semedo has gained strength, as Valencia seeks to reinforce the right side in this market, or even, as Superdeporte reported, the Portuguese Bruno Fernandes . The midfielder of Sporting Lisbon would be bought in June by the culé team and assigned to Valencia for the 20/21 campaign.

Paco Alcácer and the right side

While the Rodrigo puzzle fits, Valencia is still in the market. The conversations with Paco Alcácer are advanced and interest in Florenzi , the right side of Rome that could come to reinforce the band, has been reactivated.
