Valencia have taken time out to slam a report that Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign Carlos Soler in the summer transfer window.
Diario AS reported on Monday that Barca had secured an agreement to sign Soler for €20 million and added that the club want to sell Frenkie de Jong.

Here’s Valencia’s official statement in full:
“In response to a story published this Monday in Spanish newspaper Diario AS, Valencia CF deny the existence of any agreement -or any ongoing negotiation- with FC Barcelona for the transfer of Carlos Soler.
