"I'm not going to play for this team again."

That has been the message that Geoffrey Kondogbia transmitted from

Javi Gracia

a few days ago and that he has reactivated the negotiations to close his departure to Atlético de Madrid.

The two clubs are working on an agreement in which, for the first time, according to sources from the Mestalla club, there is a transfer figure on the table: 15 million that can rise to 20 with variables.

Despite the fact that the rojiblanco club until Friday was only considering the option of an assignment with a purchase option at the end of the season, in the last hours, and six days of the deadline to hire

Thomas'

replacement

, it has decided to bid for the midfielder.

The agreement with the French is complete.

Kondogbia wants to play under Simeone's orders and has forced himself to do so.

After the president of Valencia closed the doors on the last day of the market, his strategy has been one of attack: he published a message on his social networks in which he accused

Anil Murthy

of having deceived him and, two days before, pains appeared in the heel that they have had him out of the team and training since October 14.

Last Friday he jumped back onto the Paterna grounds because the rest of the captains (Gayà, Soler, Domenech and Paulista) expressly requested it.

He declared to them, to the president and to Gracia shamelessly that he was not going to play a game with Valencia again and that his intention was to leave the club, now or in the January market, when his clause will be reduced to

30 million euros. euros

, a reduction percentage that will also affect your salary.

The intention of the coach, who has acknowledged that he is recovered, was for him to be in the squad against

Getafe

, despite knowing that he would not want to play.

Because of his attitude, he was considered lost even if he was still on the squad.

The rope was so tight that Valencia has agreed to sit down with Atlético again to look for an exit that, although economically close to the player's clause in January, reduces the team in sport, without the possibility of incorporating a substitute until the new transfer window.
