Valencia have been accused of playing the system in the way they have structured the deal which looks to have landed them Maxi Gomez.
An insider who has been close to the deal explained on the ‘phone that Valencia will pay €16 million (£14.4m) plus striker Santi Mina valued €22m (£2om) and a youth player on loan for two years.
The total deal should be worth around £35m but Valencia and Celta Vigo have allegedly valued Mina at €1m (£900,000) thus reducing Celta’s liability on a sell-on fee and Valencia’s commission to Gomez’s agents.
Defensor Sporting Club sold Gomez to Celta Vigo for just €4 million (£3.6m) in 2017 with a 25% sell-on clause on the profit.
With the total deal devalued to £15.3m Defensor Sporting Club will get around £2.9m of the transfer.
If the £45.8m West Ham deal had gone through then Defensor Sporting Club could have received around £10.5m from the transfer.
The same can be said about the agent’s commission with Valencia said to be paying around 10% (€1.7m) compared to the €3m West Ham were offering to pay.

I wonder how many of our players really want to play for us, in the end it’s all about the deal that’s negotiated and the balance of the appeal for staying or leaving at any given time. Hey even Bobby Moore wanted to play for Spurs but contracts meant something then.
Valencia CF playing the system?! Give me a break! There was an original deal in place between both clubs, but West Ham try to barge in with ‘Sky TV’ money, and hijack the deal. There is absolutely no appeal to your club, apart from the paying of silly salaries.
Valencia are a small town only known for selling oranges and will never have 60000 weekly crowds or win a world cup. Valencia quite frankly only have this player because the Spanish league is of a poor standard and so small clubs like Valencia can qualify for the CL. If you were in the premier league uiud be lucky to make the top 15. THESE are the facts amigo

Sounds like we were stitched up good and proper by the Spaniards!!!
I bet Defensor Sporting Club are ****ed off missing out on that extra money!
Agree with Andrew. Have heard enough of it and I will keep saying this, Haller and Belotti much better players imo.
Suddenly seen a lot of west ham media sources turning the ‘he was never coming’ or ‘hes unproven’ or theres this or that problem card.
Get over it he didnt fancy west ham so why would we want him?!
At last, we always knew we would miss out on this one as that is nearly 2 transfer windows wasted on him. Personally I will be happy to read no more about him, and hopefully we can get someone else as we only have Chico and Antonio left as strikers!!
Sour grapes. Why report this. Good luck to them. Sounds sensible to me. Who wouldn’t in their position.
Seams a bit slippery to me .i am sure there is a EU law which stops you under valueing assets and goods to avoid tax spanish vat in this case and i must also effect caluclations for
FFP
Yep lets deflect this from the club and blame everyone else. Dont care whether we got him or not, just an embarrasing and time wasting chase.
Time to move on and bring in players who want to wear the Claret & Blue…. like Neymar perhaps??
Please stop this nonsense. We tried to pay with instalments…..so just as guilty when it comes to playing games.
Am sure MP and the Huss are gutted but have Plans B, C and D ready to go.
He can’t loose his opportunity to play in champion league. Valencia is bigger than West Ham United , VAMOSS VALENCIA
