The passing of Goncalo Guedes at Paris Saint-Germain, 13 matches between January and August 2017, will not leave an unforgettable memory. But the Paris club, which bought it for 30 million euros from Benfica, then negotiated well by making a capital gain since finally selling it for 40 million to Valencia in 2018. A transfer deal with 10 million euros in bonuses. Therefore, PSG was likely to receive an additional 5 million euros this season if the Portuguese striker played a certain number of matches. But his counter should stop at 35 matches, 11 goals and 6 assists.
If Goncalo Guedes has already played another match for Valencia (up to at least 45 minutes)And The Spanish club will have to pay this bonus to Paris Saint-Germain. Therefore, Valencia chose to dispense with the Portuguese at the end of the season. He had already started the last two La Liga games off the bench (playing 24 and 27 minutes). Which should remain so against Espanyol and Celta Vigo.
“We will respect the decision to always look for the best for the club”
At a press conference, Valencia coach Jose Bordalas tried to drown the fish: “Guedes received a blow that bothered him for several days and we decided he was not going to train to see if he would be in his condition tomorrow, first try to explain.
Before giving the real reasons at the insistence of Spanish journalists. “The club spoke to me, with the player and his agent, he admitted it. If the club has an agreement with the player, we will respect the decision to always strive for the best for the club.”
Valence, 10th in the championship, had nothing left to play for. He can’t aim for a better athlete than ninth. By cutting out his scorer, he will at least make some small savings.
