Valencia and Juventus are reportedly meeting at this very moment as they negotiate the transfer of Simone Zaza to the Spanish club.
The transfer was considered as collapsed after the resignation of the manager Cesare Prandelli, who wasn’t satisfied with Valencia’s efforts to make signings. But the situation had a turn around, and the club are back in chasing the striker.
They’ve clearly learnt a lesson from West Ham.
This is obviously a scary deal, and that’s why the La Liga side are trying other ways to reach an agreement, both by trying to drop the price and to change the number of appearances for the transfer to be permanent. The biggest reason not to make the purchase now is the financial fair play, as reported by Super Deporte.
Zaza had his loan spell at West Ham cut short after 11 appearances and zero goals. The Hammers chose to send him back to Juventus before they had to pay a fee which was previously agreed in case the player reached a certain number of games.
If Valencia are trying to do a deal for Zaza, and perhaps an overpriced one, just to make a point over Prandelli’s exit then it’s a bizarre set of circumstances.
