„Valencia“ club has officially confirmed the acquisition of the „Monaco“ club's center-back Aymen Abdennour. The 26-year-old footballer moves to the „Mestalla“ stadium just a few days after „Valencia“ eliminated „Monaco“ in the Champions League qualifiers. The Tunisian national team player underwent a medical examination on Saturday and signed a 5-year contract, with the transfer estimated to cost 30 million euros. „Valencia is a great club, I had no doubts about moving here. I am glad to be part of this serious and ambitious project“ - A. Abdennour stated on the club's official website. Throughout his career, A. Abdennour has played for „Etoile du Sahel“, „Werder Bremen“, and „Toulouse“ clubs, but he built his reputation in Europe while playing for „Monaco“, where he was a key pillar of the strong Monegasque defense last year. At Valencia club, A. Abdennour will replace N. Otamendi, who recently moved to „Manchester City“.
