Alvaro Negredo isn’t really concerned about his permanence at Middlesbrough after the end of the season.
On loan from Valencia since last summer, the striker has turned out to be a decent business for Boro, contributing six goals and four assists in the Premier League.
Asked about this by Radio Onda Cero, Negredo said: “Let’s see what happens when the season is over. I’m happy here and playing, which is what I was interested in. The future doesn’t depend on me, and now I’ll enjoy it here until the end of the season”.
“It was a decision from everyone. I needed to play and the club wanted that I left,” (via Deporte Valenciano).
Despite having loaned Negredo out, Valencia ended up struggling with their form and a few injuries this season, which meant they had to add other strikers to the squad.
But the La Liga side won’t a choice over keeping the player, since the decision will be in Middlesbrough’s hands.
Valencia paid €28m to sign Negredo from Manchester City in 2015, and reports from England claim Boro will only have to pay €10m to have him beyond the summer.
