VALENCIA IMPROVE BID FOR MAKAAY

2nd July 2003 -- On Saturday president Lendoiro of Deportivo made clear that this club have received three offers for Roy Makaay so far. The past days it became evident that the most important one of them has come from Valencia, as the club of president Jaime Ortí have offered 15 million Euro + ‘Kily” González in exchange for the Dutch striker.

Already last summer Valencia wanted to sign Makaay, but the striker stayed at Deportivo and became European topscorer this season. But the option to play at Valencia is a realistic one again, as currently the club are negotiating with Barcelona about Argentinean players Ayala and Aimar. In this way they could make cash available to sign Makaay, and he could be the star filling up the place of Aimar.

But ‘Kily” González could be an obstacle in the negotiations, as he doesn’t want to be used as exchange money. His agent, Marcelo Lombilla, has been in Spain since Monday and assured Spanish sportspaper Marca that he doesn’t know anything about a supposed interest of Deportivo. “And Kily likes to stay at Valencia and on 4 August he will be present when the new season starts. Their won’t be any initiative from him to move one”. That’s not surprising as ‘Kily” González seems to earn an amazing salary at Valencia (about 6 million Euro), something he never will achieve at Deportivo.

Another club which could join the hunt for Makaay is Manchester United. British newspaper “The Guardian” has written down that their coach Ferguson is looking at several players to strengthen his squad, among which Makaay (Deportivo), Ronaldinho (Paris-Saint Germanin) and Djemba-Djemba (Nantes).

In England they assume that Makaay could be sold for a price of 21 million Euro. Until now Valencia, as mentioned, have made the best bid as German champions Bayern Munich have offered 15 million Euro but without including a player. The third team interested is still unknown as Barcelona haven’t officially approached Deportivo yet. But Lendoiro has made clear that whatever club is interested, they should pay for a crack as Makaay is: at least 24 million Euro.

What you guyz think?:confused:

Stay at Depor :)

Valencia, then they have a nice attack with also Lopez returning, if Valencia gets makaay they will be one of the title favourites again

Either Bayern or Depor. He said that he wants to move to Munich. The only problem now is Deportivo...

he made clear he wants to go to bayern... but he'll probably go where he is better paid...

Last bit of news i read about Makaay was that he "preferred move to Man United". There was even a thread about it.

I dont think he will join Man Utd, my vote goes to him joining Bayern. So we better watch out for them next year in the CL.

last offer by Valencia was 15 million euros and Kily Gonzalez...

Does Kily Gonzalez play on the right? If so i think it will be good for Depor. That being because Victor is rumored to be leaving this summer also, so it would be smart to get someone proven and money from a departing MaKaay. Now that I think about it, it doesnt matter if Kily plays on the right or the left because the left sided mid is Fran and he is focking old.

Kily plays on the left, he is very good but Depor is not going to take a player with his wages

Vitesse ;)

Probably going to Bayern or VAlencia

Most people, including Depor fans, want Makaay to leave as his heart is set on it really. Plus the money for him also would really benefit the club.
A move to Bayern for him tho would be OK but I think a move to anoher club in La Liga or EPL would be better

yeah it would be interesting seeing makaay playing for an EPL club. something like blackburn would be interesting seeing him moving there.

Blackburn? :rolleyes:

Blackburn my arse!!! He deserves CL football and surely should play for a top 3 club.

lol Blackburn..

I just hope he joins us. I have to admit that Eto'o - Makaay would help them alot. With Lopez also.
