The French stopper has attracted the interest of Unai emery, who favours the Ligue 1 player over Ajax Amsterdam’s Dutch international, Gregory Van der Wiel.
With both http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-c8098 and Miguel out of contract in June, Los Che need to reinforce their defensive ranks in the upcoming summer transfer window.
After less than profitable negotiations with Ajax’s Gregory Van Der Wiel, Valencia manager, Unai Emery, has started his hunt elsewhere.
The 40-year-old manager is tracking the Lille man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Debuchy-c24682, as an ideal addition to the dressing room.
In a recent interview to L’Equipe, the 26-year-old admitted about the knowledge of Valencia’s interest in him, but stressed that he is focused with life in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 at the moment.
Continuing on the topic of his future, the 3-time capped French international stated that he wants to finish the season with Lille on a positive note, before thinking about any potential transfer.
“It is in my thoughts and I know that Valencia are interested in me.”
“But I am focused on the French league for now. I want to end the season here on a positive note before thinking of any transfer. I also have to accept I am under contract and I can’t pick and choose,” he stated.
Debuchy’s almost 200 outings for Lille since his debut in January 2004, and with former teammate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adil-Rami-c3639, already in Valencia’s ranks, the Mestalla-based outfit have a strong case in their favour.
The Northern Spanish club are in need of dire reinforcements after stumbling on the first hurdle in their UEFA Champions League adventures. Unai Emery’s men finished third in their group, behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Bayer Leverkusen, and have been left with the unattractive
Europa League to fill their fixture schedule.
Despite their hapless showings in the Champions League, Los Che have performed up to their expectations in the second tier European club competition. Unai Emery’s men knocked out Stoke City, as they continue their march in the European competition.
However, despite winning in the Europa League, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 have seen their form trail off in La Liga, adding a measly 9 points in their last 8 Spanish top flight fixtures.
