It is no secret that Valencia president Vicente Soriano was left fuming with the way Real Madrid tried to make an approach for their star striker David Villa just days before the player agreed to a contract improvement with the Mestalla outfit.
Although all seems to be done and dusted now, Soriano has not forgotten the unpleasant manner in which Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatovic conducted business.
“There is somebody from Real Madrid, not the president, who has not acted accordingly with what the club represents,” the Valencia chief spat out to Marca.
“He has not done things the correct way and his conduct was not elegant.
“Their president has behaved in a proper manner but not anyone else. I do not have any more resentment with this issue as it is already closed,” he added.
Although Soriano did not mention Mijatovic’s name specifically, it is widely accepted that it was in fact the sporting director who made the untimely offer to Valencia during their visit to the Bernabéu for the Supercopa clash and that he is normally the one who initiates all transfer activities.
Soriano then revealed that he never had any doubts about Villa and David Silva’s future at they Mestalla.
“If we want to build a great Valencia, we cannot afford to sell either Silva or Villa.
“I never had any doubts that they would stay because they themselves want to remain with this club and they have showed it. They are going to continue with Valencia for a very long time,” he concluded.
