Marcelino outlines the three signings he wants at Valencia Valencia Still some work to be done

Valencia coach Marcelino made clear that the team need to sign a centre-back and a left-back in defence, as well as a talented player up front.

The 53-year-old maintained that Los Che have already entered into negotiations with some potential targets, without revealing any of their names.

"We are negotiating and we will try to achieve agreements," he said.

"We have an extraordinary squad, but we need to strengthen some positions.

"I am not going to talk about any player who is not in the squad.

"We need three players to complete the squad: a centre-back, a left-back and an attacking player who will boost the team's potential."

Marcelino went on to explain how the crisis at the club stalled their moves in the transfer market.

"We are the same as a few weeks ago, as the crisis paused our movements in the market," he added.

"After the agreement I thought the operations would be faster, but we are at a similar point.

"The agreement is that we have started a work model and it doesn't have to change.

"If you go from being 12th to being fourth by making profitable signings then I don't see why that should change."
