Miguel Ángel Corona appeared before the media at the press conference to present Selim Amallah as a Valencia CF player this Wednesday.

Welcome message to Selim Amallah.

Today we are presenting Selim Amallah as a Valencia CF player He is a footballer who, with his arrival, will give us many options and many variants from the midfield to the attack, both on the wings and through the middle. I am sure that he is going to help us a lot and in many positions. Spain has already seen Selim, and people already know what he is capable of doing. We have also seen him at the World Cup in Qatar, and I know how eager he is to wear this shirt. I'm sure that Valencia CF fans will enjoy his football. We welcome him here.

Is the option of signing Rafa Mir completely ruled out? Is the money that was going to be allocated to his signing going to be spent on another player?

Rafa Mir is ruled out. We manage the club’s money in the best possible way to meet our criteria, be sustainable and within that sustainability put together the best possible squad.

What is the situation with Samu Castillejo?

Nothing has changed and there is not much new. Due to the different technical and tactical aspects there are players in the squad who are favoured ahead of him. There is no news. There have been open negotiations, but there is no further news.

The club insist that you have a delicate financial situation, but can all the remainder that exists within Financial Fair Play be used? Can you bring another player in?

Authorisation has to not only comply with the FPF criteria but also meet the cost, and financial availability in terms of income and expenses. That's where we have to adjust things. Within these criteria we are going to try to have the best possible squad.

What assessment would you make about the activity in the transfer market today?

Obviously, we are going to wait for the transfer window to end to make a final assessment. We have had many operations for players to leave, plus those that left last year. In other cases we have rejected offers for important players because we believed it was important that they not leave.

When are you going to stop justifying the club's loss of sporting potential? Why hasn't this signing been completed sooner?

This Amallah operation has been done now because we have obtained an option to buy him, something that was vital for us. We consider it to be a good operation. Why wasn't it done before, when there was talk of a swap with Real Valladolid for Marcos André? Because we wanted to have an option to buy the player and we considered that we also had to value Marcos André, whom we have transferred.
