Martin Montoya is expected to go to Valencia as Andre Gomes joins Barcelona and Cristian Tello could make the move as well.
Sport reports Montoya was a priority of Los Che sporting director Jesus Garcia Pitarch and Gomes’ switch to Camp Nou will hasten the transfer, which was discussed almost as soon as Barca made an inquiry into Gomes.
Tello could go as well as Valencia have had more outs than ins in attacking positions this summer, letting Alvaro Negredo, Pablo Piatti and Rodrigo De Paul all leave, and losing Sofiane Feghouli on a free transfer.
Luis Enrique has made it clear he doesn’t count on either Montoya or Tello for the coming season and the pair were originally told to stay away from pre-season training until August 8, but turned up this week for the first day of preparations anyway.
