Asked about the difficult renewal negotiations between Barcelona and Barcelona goalkeeper Víctor Valdés, Fernando Redondo, the agent of Real Valladolid goalkeeper and Spanish youth international Sergio Asenjo (19), has said in an interview with Spanish newsagency EFE that this could open new perspectives for a transfer:"If Víctor Valdés wouldn't renew his contract, that could open the door of Barcelona for Asenjo. I didn't receive any news of Barcelona lately so Barça is the one who should move now. If Valdés would leave the team, that logically would be a possibility, but we cannot know what will happen at this point.
Despite various offers, we have at this moment given the green light to the offer of Atlético Madrid. We're now waiting for the two clubs to reach an agreement and finalize everything. We're not doing anything now. Atlético is interested and both the player and we, his agents, are giving priority to the sporting arguments because he proved himself enough over the last two years to go to a team to play there. Now it's up to the clubs to deal with things and I think that sports directors Jesús García Pitarch of Atlético and Roberto Olabe of Valladolid will meet next week.
We also received an offer from Fiorentina but we've rejected it because they have Sébastien Frey for the coming four years. Given his age, we should be careful and what we want is that he plays and isn't the back-up. There's a big chance he'll be able to play at Atlético since the club wants to sign him after not having renewed the contract of Leo Franco, something the kid is taking into account."
