Mouctar Diakhaby hasn’t had the best return from quarantine.
He gave away a penalty for Valencia against Levante, which resulted in a 1-1 draw. What makes it worse for the central defender is that he gave away two penalties against Atalanta just before football was halted due to the Covid-19 crisis.
Valencia are now looking to part ways with the 23 year old, and AS describe him as a ‘boy within a man’s body’. It’s explained he’s almost treated like a son by some of his teammates, and his maturity for the top level of football is subsequently called into question.
This is why, according to the Spanish newspaper, Valencia regret turning down a €40m Wolves offer, presumably last summer, and €25m from Everton.
Should Wolves or Everton wish to return then they’ll find a willing seller. Valencia owner Peter Lim decided to gamble and believe his player would be worth more this summer, a step which has backfired.
The Spanish club are looking for a Premier League solution, and it’s near certain Everton, and Wolves especially, wouldn’t need to hit the levels of those claimed offers.
