So.. things are getting very ugly in our chase for Nicolás Otamendi
His agent has come out publicly and said Otamendi wants to leave Valencia as well as saying he will try and lower the release clause for Otamendi which stands at €50m/£35m
Valencia's club president, Amadeo Salvo, has now commented on the situation via the clubs official Twitter account and here's what he had to say (this is a word for word translation so a few words/sentences may be off)
It's rather odd for a club to comment on transfer speculation.. but least we now know there's serious interest in Otamendi
Valencia won't budge on Otamendi's release clause, they're pretty much saying pay up or f*ck off
Even if we do meet Otamendi's release clause, there's no certainty that Valencia will accept the bid.. think back to the Herrera and Athletic Bilbao transfer saga, we may have to give Otamendi the cash to buy out his release clause

"the @valenciacf inattentive to pressures of any agent or comments"
"the position of the @valenciacf will always be the same. If Otamendi wants to go out, you have to say it publicly"
"If you want to go will have to come to a club, not an agent, and pay what the club decides it's worth, there are 50 million minimum (1/2)
"and the conditions of payment decided by the @valenciacf" (2/2)
"Otamendi is a player of the @valenciacf with which we are thrilled. The @valenciacf has not received any offer (1/2)
"anyway the @valenciacf is very pleased with the player and we would like you to finish your contract with us"
