Montoya asks Valencia to allow him to join Real Betis Transfer Market - LaLiga Keen to move on

Real Betis is where Martin Montoya wants to play his football next season and MARCA can report that the player has informed Valencia coach Marcelino of his desire to be allowed to leave Los Che and move to Andalusia.

The two clubs have been negotiating the player's transfer for some time now and Cristiano Piccini's arrival made it clear to the full-back that he would be seen as second choice at the Estadio Mestalla.

"He has already informed Valencia that he does not want to take part in any more friendlies," the player's agent said to newspaper ABC.

"He wants to go to Betis and has already told his coach."

A problem still remains though as the clubs cannot agree a fee for the deal. Valencia are pushing for 7 million euros while Betis are yet to even reach half of that figure.
