Although yesterday it seemed that the transition of Spanish champion's attacking midfielder Miguel Angel Angulo to the English champion London club is only a matter of time, today it was unexpectedly announced that the transfer is canceled.
A few days ago, the player himself confirmed to journalists that he rejected the offer from London's Chelsea and chose Arsenal, but negotiations between the player and Arsenal management broke down last night. Unofficially, it is said that the player and the English champions did not agree on the salary.
Tabloids quickly reported that the 27-year-old Spaniard failed the medical tests, but Valencia president, Jaime Orti, categorically denied these rumors: "This transfer did not happen definitely not because of his physical condition. We better wait for him to return to Valencia and find out why he refused to move to the London club."
Orti also added that he hopes the club will be able to extend the contract with the attacking midfielder, who can also play in a forward position: "We always wanted to keep Miguel Angel and we hope that now we will be able to agree on extending the contract."
