The possibility that Roberto Soldado will leave is real, says Valencia coach Miroslav Djukic

Roberto Soldado on his way out?

Valencia coach Miroslav Djukic has admitted that there are chances of Roberto Soldado leaving and the club is already looking forward to possible replacements.

The 28-year-old has been linked with a move to Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. The clubs have already been warned that they will have to meet Soldado’s release clause of £25.8m if they wish to sign the striker.

Djukic is quoted as saying by Super Deporte: “The possibility that he will leave is real”

“Soldado is our striker and if he stays then he will be the reference point up front.”

“Valencia are working on various options in case Salgado does leave, but we have too (few) forwards, either with Soldado or especially without him,” he added.

“We have to remember though that Valencia the club is greater than any player,” he concluded.
