Denis Suarez: Valencia doubted me for off the field reasons, I couldn't accept that LaLiga Still praised coach Marcelino

Celta Vigo's star summer signing Denis Suarez was a wanted man when Barcelona put him on the market, attracting interest from Valencia among others.

However, a move never came to fruition, despite his desire to reunite with Marcelino.

"[Valencia's] sporting management disappointed me," Suarez revealed to TV3.

"They doubted me for off the field reasons, I can't take that, it hurt as I am super professional."

Despite that, the midfielder still spoke highly of the coach he worked with at Villarreal.

"I will always say it: Marcelino is the best coach I've ever worked with," Suarez repeated.

"He insisted on signing me, but Valencia didn't."

Now, Suarez faces a new challenge back in his home region of Galicia in the colours of Celta Vigo.

"They have always trusted me, they made a big effort and that's why I'm here," Suarez said.

"It's the club of my life since I was small, the fans are excited by my signing and I want to take the club back to where it belongs which is in Europe."

After a failed loan spell at Arsenal, Barcelona sold Suarez to Celta on a permanent deal.
