ANDhe Valencia has reacted this Saturday in a way overwhelming to the various news fronts that has opened in recent weeks, among which mix the possible Peter Lim’s interest in selling the shares of the club or no official response by the public administrations your new stadium project submitted a month ago.
An official statement released by the club on behalf of “Valencia and its largest shareholder Peter Lim” reiterates that “Valencia CF is not for salenot even part of the shares of the largest shareholder”, in response to information published this Saturday in this regard that he describes as “flatly false”. “Peter Lim is just as committed to Valencia CF as he was on the first day”, insists the statement referring this time to the maximum shareholder in the third person, and he gives as an example “the capital increase approved at the last General Meeting of Shareholders”.
Valencia is not for sale, not even a part of the shares of the largest shareholder
In this way, the text continues, Valencia “hopes to settle false rumors without any type of foundation”, whose dissemination he attributes to “interest groups […] who try to destabilize Valencia for personal interests”. It can be interpreted, but the text does not expressly say so, that the statement refers to the former Vice President Miguel Zoríopromoter of the opposition platform Marea Valencianista, who this week assured that Roman Abramovich would have made an offer to Peter Lim for the shares of Valencia.
New Mestalla: Valencia urges a response to the administrations
Valencia adds that the largest shareholder and all the club’s levels “are fully involved in complete the construction of the new stadium”. In fact, he announces that the club plans to present soon “with all kinds of details to its fans”, and adds that “it has the support of the technical managers of LaLiga, as its president, Javier Tebas, publicly stated yesterday”.
Valencia recalls in the statement that this Friday “One month has elapsed since the documentation was delivered required by the administration to resume work on the new stadium.” He adds that “he continues to work to execute this project and hopes to meet soon with the relevant authorities to move forward together.”
The official statement about the new stadium
On several occasions since the delivery of the required documentation, the Club has requested the Valencian administration to carry out a face-to-face technical presentation with the aim of explaining in detail the project for the construction of the Nou Mestalla and being able to solve doubts of a technical, financial, commercial or legal nature that might have arisen in this regard.
Today’s date the Club has not received any response from the administration neither formally nor informally has the Club received any type of clarification, doubt or comment regarding the project submitted to said request for a meeting.
The total cost of the stadium will be around 300 million of euros of investment and will generate a multiplier impact of hundreds of millions of euros in the city of Valencia over the next few years. The figures and characteristics of this emblematic project alone dismantle any smear campaign regarding it.
Valencia CF is working to finish the new stadium project as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the team needs us to unify forces before such a beautiful opportunity to win a title on April 23 in Seville.
