Agent: Joaquin May Leave
-
The agent of Valencia winger Joaquin has admitted that his client may move on from the Mestalla over the summer after a disappointing season.
oaquin was one of many players who did not see eye-to-eye with coach Ronald Koeman and openly questioned the tactics of the Dutchman on a number of occasions during the latter part of the season.
The 26 year old wide-man struggled for form under Koeman, with the end result being that he was omitted from the Spain squad selected by Luis Aragones for Euro 2008, having been a mainstay in the national setup for the last three major tournaments.
Such disappointments can be difficult to overcome, and his agent Eduardo Espejo has suggested that Joaquin may be forced to leave Valencia in order to make a fresh start and re-ignite his career.
"Valencia are the owners of Joaquin, and for that reason any decision we make will have to be agreed upon mutually,” he told 'AS'.
“What is clear is that there is much to talk about because Joaquin cannot have another year like the last one. The disappointment has been huge.”
Clubs in England and Italy are thought to be monitoring Joaquin's situation, with the likes of Everton and AS Roma having previously been linked with moves for the former-Betis winger.
