His arrival at Valencia CF

“It's clear and simple: Valencia CF are Valencia CF. It’s an historic club. Since we started talking, I've been very clear. The first call was a few weeks ago, we talked a little, and then week by week we’ve been in contact. The situation of me coming here has come through, and I'm very happy.”

Contact with the club
