Soler has been a mainstay in the first team at Valencia almost since coming through. Since making his debut in the 2016-17 season, he has made 226 appearances, contributing 36 goals and 31 assists.
Los Che have brought in Ilaix Moriba on the final day of the window, but will likely find it difficult to replace Soler. His performances, leadership and goals have sustained Valencia in recent years.
With a year left on his deal, the cut-price deal makes sense for all parties, but it will also leave a bitter taste in the mouth at Mestalla. Yet another of their best players has exited for fee lower than market value.
