Soldado fires parting shot at Valencia president ahead of Spurs switch

Roberto Soldado has launched a scathing attack on Valencia president ahead of his proposed move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Spanish international is to undergo a medical with Spurs on Friday and claims that one of his main motives for a move were to get a clean break away from president Amadeo Salvo.

Soldado told a gathering of media at Valencia airport which appeared as a video on Youtube, Spurs fan @spurspanyol kindly summarised the interview for us…

He said he didn’t believe in the project and since the first day he met Salvo he wanted to leave. He says because of Salvo a lot of lies have been said about him and his agents; who are like family to him.

He decided to leave as soon as he lost faith in the project. The president has lied to me personally. He made me lose my illusion. He feels he could of done things better but he wasn’t told the truth a lot of times. He said he hopes he’s wrong and it turns out to be the best era in Valencia’s history. He said the offer from Tottenham was the best for him and for his family.

Soldado continued by saying he was satisfied with the negotiations but says they could of been done more sincerely and that he is still another Valencian.

He concluded by saying that he “hoped” Bale would stay at Tottenham.
