Offers for Valencia would be considered
Today at 03:48 AM
Valencia club president Lay Hoon Chan says the club is not up for sale but that owner Peter Lim would study any offers received.
Lim, 71, is one of Singapore's richest men and took over at
Valencia in 2014. He has become deeply unpopular with a large majority of the
club's supporters and his ownership has been the subject of protests from
Valencia's fan base in recent years.
Supporters had hoped Lim would restore the club, which
thrived domestically and in Europe during the 2000s, to prominence after taking
over in 2014.
Yet Valencia's ownership have continued to cut costs in
recent seasons with diminishing returns on the pitch and their planned Nou
Mestalla stadium has yet to be finished.
On Thursday, Lay Hoon added that work at the new stadium
would resume on January 10 — believed to be a necessary step towards any future
takeover of the club.
Valencia have not finished higher than ninth in any of the
five seasons since and are 20th in La Liga with just two wins from their first
16 league games of the 2024-25 season.
For a long time they were considered the third club in Spain behind Real
Madrid and Barcelon a.
