Tottenham Hotspurs technical director met with Toldrá and Salvo. The English club are willing to pay the amount demanded.

Hotspur player as of Tuesday after a day of intense meetings that left Valencia and the English club on the point of a finalised deal. Tottenham Hotspur technical director Franco Baldini arrived in Valencia in the morning and met the players agent, Alberto Toldrá, before sitting down with Valencia president Amadeo Salvo.

Tottenham are yet to offer the full 30 million buy-out clause, but are very close (sources say 26 million plus variables) that nobody is any doubt that they will get there eventually. Valencia will approve the sale at a board meeting on Tuesday, which was organised before the transfer situation arose but will deal with the matter. The player is likely to earn around 3.5 million euros a year.

-The two clubs have spoken and Valencia made it clear that they wanted 30 milllion euros-, said Salvo. -Tottenhams mission is to get the player as cheaply as possible, while ours is to receive 30 million. Theres not much room for manouevre. For a deal to take place two things have to happen: the player has to want to go and they need to pay what Valencia demand. The board will study the situation-, he said.
