Soler: Valencia up Barcelona target's release clause
DAVID GONZALEZDIARIO AS

Carlos Soler's emergence at  Valencia has not gone unnoticed at Barcelona, who have been keeping tabs on the promising midfielder for some time.

Buy-out clause: eight million to 30 million

Handed his first-team debut in December, the 20-year-old youth product has impressed since making the breakthrough, featuring seven times for Los Che.

And Valencia have moved to ward off any interest in the young Spaniard - who on Saturday scored his first goal for the Mestalla outfit in a 2-0 LaLiga victory at Villarreal - by raising his release clause from eight to 30 million euros.

Officially a first-team player as of Friday

That came as part of last week's announcement of the activation of an option to improve Soler's contract and officially list him as a member of Voro's senior squad.

His buy-out would have automatically been increased after ten appearances but, in view of his displays, the club have acted early to ensure his immediate future.
