Trouble is, Valencia have already paid 6 mill for him, they need 12 for him so that his 3rd party owners get the same.
If we pay 6, then Valencia presumably make a 3 million loss, and the other owners a write down of 3 mill on what they were expecting.
That's going to be very hard for them to swallow I would think.
