Frustrated over the higher ups lack of movement over a new offer, the agent for Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes has thrown down in the press. With his current deal set to expire in the summer of 2010, Gines Carvajal wants Casillas type loot for hs client despite the fact that his 27 year old client has never played in the Spanish team beyond the U – 21′s.

“Everyone asks for what they deserve,” he told Onda Cero Cataluna. “Victor must get as much as Casillas.

“Victor Valdes is the goalkeeper of Barcelona football club – one of the best clubs in the world. He’s been showing that for a couple of years and he is at the same level as Iker Casillas, Buffon or anyone else.

“I have no doubt about that.”

Valdes has been at Barca since joining their youth team in 1995 and Carvajal is confident he will remain there for many years to come.

“For our part there’s no rush in the matter,” he added. “He still has a year and a few months on his contract and it’s Barca who have to keep an eye on the time left because it was them that started the interest in negotiating.

“While we still have a contract, we are very calm. Barca are a great club, they’ve showed that by renewing other players’ contracts who also deserved it.

“I understand that when it’s Victor Valdes’ turn, if they believe it’s right, we’ll come to an agreement – that’s almost certain.”

Reports in Spain have been rife that Barca are set to offload Valdes at the end of this season with possible destinations for the goalkeeper Arsenal or AC Milan.

And Carvajal is certain the player would only move abroad if he was to leave the Nou Camp.

“If we don’t get an offer, I’m sure there won’t be a shortage of teams interested in him,” he continued. “There are four or five teams of a really top-class level who would be interested in him. That’s sure.

“In Spain there’s only one other club that could get a goalkeeper of this level. I understand that if Valdes has to leave next year that it will be abroad.”
