The newspaper 'AS' affirms that River Plate are willing to accept a 16 million euro offer for Lucas Martínez Quarta, who mainly interests Valencia. If 'Los Che' offer the asking price, it's likely they will reach a deal.
Martínez Quarta to Valencia for 16 million euros. It could be a news headline this summer, although it's still far away from happening. The key is that the newspaper 'AS' reports that it would be the amount that River Plate would accept from Valencia.
But there could be a problem: that there is a bidding war for him. Milan and Real Madrid are also interested in him, and taking into account that both clubs have the economic capacity to spare, they could be involved in a fight for the player.
But is the footballer worth the 16 million asking price? His current market value is 11.4 and he is 23 years old, as well as having a long career in Argentine football. This season, he has played 20 games and set up two. Its future potential explains his price.
With a contract until 2021 as a 'millionaire', the negotiations remain to clarify his future. The best positioned, for now, is Valencia, but they'll have to look in the mirror in case Milan and Madrid get close.
