A deal between Valencia and Tottenham Hotspur for the sale of Spain striker
Roberto Soldado has been completed, the La Liga club's president told local
media on Wednesday.
However, the 28-year-old will not be allowed to join the Premier League club
until a problem with his agents has been resolved, Amadeo Salvo said in the daily El Mundo.
"The deal with Tottenham has been completed. A problem with Soldado's agents has come up
and the player will not leave the club until a solution has been found," Salvo said.
Spanish media reports put the transfer fee at 30 million euros ($39.84 million) for Soldado,
who scored 30 goals in 46 appearances for Valencia last season.
Spurs spent about 17 million pounds ($25.94 million) to bring in Brazil midfielder Paulinho
from Corinthians earlier this month, a similar amount to the record fee they paid Blackburn
Rovers for winger David Bentley in 2008.
Media reports claim Real Madrid have offered a world record fee in excess of 85 million pounds
for Tottenham's 24-year-old Wales midfielder Gareth Bale, who signed a four-year deal last
year, but there has been no official comment from either club
