Since Valencia are facing financial problems, i.e. they want a bigger inflow of money into the club’s coffers, and due to the fact that Gonzalo Guedes was mentioned as a target by several clubs from the top five leagues before the summer, it was clear that there is a pretty big probability that he will leave Mestalla. The Bats, or their coach Gennaro Gattuso, confirmed at the press conference after the victory in the friendly match with Atalanta that a club from the Premier League offered a lot of money for the most expensive reinforcement in the history of Valencia and that the Portuguese is moving to the Island.”I’m angry because no one is talking about the game against a great team, only about Guedes. I understand you, but… the club could not refuse that much money. We will certainly do everything in our power to improve the team,” said Gattuso to the journalists.##NAJAVA_MECA_6549108##The only, and the most important, thing that remains undefined is who will be the new employer of the Portuguese attacker. As Wolverhampton were mentioned at the beginning of June, the club from Molineux immediately emerged as the first pick in the speculations. That, of course, makes sense, not only because of Wolves’ previous interest, but also because of the fact that this club has nurtured Portuguese players and coaches for years – coach Bruno Lage, who is Portuguese himself, works with nine compatriots in the playing staff.However, various, of course, unreliable information is circulating on Twitter. That Guedes is a future player of Newcastle, West Ham, and Arsenal, who were interested in him in 2017, when Valencia, paying Paris Saint-Germain 40 million euros, made him a record purchase of the club.Gonçalo Guedes deal. Valencia are prepared to accept the official proposal from Wolves, more than £27m bid submitted – but discussions still ongoing on player side. 🚨🇵🇹 #transfers Key hours ahead as Gonçalo Guedes will leave Valencia to join Premier League. pic.twitter.com/Yi3zbBO57u— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 7, 2022 In May, Roma wanted him, but the deal that their sports director, another Portuguese, Tiago Pinto, tried to achieve with a compensation of 25 million euros and sending Amadou Diawara or Gonzalo Villar to Mestalla was not realized. Guedes was also wanted by Barca, who at that time were negotiating with Valencia over the Jose Luis Gaya – Carlos Soler package. Valencia then asked for around 40 million euros, and it is believed that by sending Guedes to the Premier League, they will earn a similar amount of money. At the time, Barca found the mentioned price too high, but that was before the Catalans started selling TV rights from the future and the right to use the club’s emblem.
