Spanish club Valencia have hit back at claims that La Liga rivals Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign midfielder Carlos Soler in the summer.
Spanish reports suggested the Catalan giants have reached an agreement to sign the playmaker, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2023. A fee of €20m (£16.7m) has apparently been agreed, with a deal having also been signed-off with Soler himself.
However, it is suggested that there is still work to do before a deal can be completed. It was stated that Barcelona would be required to sell former Ajax star Frenkie de Jong first - the Dutchman reportedly being eyed by both Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
