A few days ago Spanish ‘football coach, journalist and media coach’ Edgar Navaroo tweeted that rumours of SD Huesca making a move for Samu Saiz this summer were wide of the mark.
He added that Getafe had made a €7m offer and Valencia €10m, both rejected by Leeds.
This was then picked up by Fichajes and then ended up on the endless Leeds United pushing websites.
Crucially, there’s somewhere it hasn’t ended up: The rest of the Spanish media.
€7m is around Getafe’s record transfer fee, it’d be a big deal.
As for Valencia, the club has local sport newspaper Super Deporte covering absolutely anything that goes on at the club. There’s at least two further specialist websites, a radio station pushing out Valencia news constantly, and coverage in all the sports newspapers every single day.
If the club were interested in a 14 year old from a local school team it would be reported.
This claim has either been seen and completely dismissed without a second thought, or has managed to hide from the media who cover Valencia and Getafe.
