David Albelda has demanded to be told why he has been ostracised by Valencia.

The Spain international midfielder has been told he is surplus to requirements by coach Ronald Koeman, but is confused as to why he cannot discuss moves elsewhere.

Whenever the subject of interest from other teams comes up, Valencia state that he can only leave for the €60m (£44.5million) specified in his buy-out clause.

"The coach and the technical staff in general have not looked at me and have undervalued me since December 18," he told EFE.

Reason

"I do not deserve what they are doing to me and the truth is that I do not know the reason and I would like to.

"The fans also have the right to know about the reasons as so much has been said and speculated about. I just hope they do explain."

Along with Santiago Canizares and Miguel Angel Angulo, the 30-year-old is confused and does not like being squeezed out from every area of the club.

"I feel more marginalised and separated in training," Albelda continued. "The coaching staff wants us not to have contact with the rest of the squad.

"They have even changed the system when we meet so that we do not train with the players.

"This has already caused irrevocable damage and I am going to defend my rights to the end, especially after the terrible way the directors have treated me."

Regret

Albelda then explained that he turned down several offers to renew his contract under Quique Sanchez Flores, but now regrets making the decision.

"I renewed with Valencia and turned down higher offers to stay here with my hometown club," he explained.

"I do not know about all the other stuff, I just know that when clubs have come in to ask about me they have been told me buy-out clause price.

"I just want to play football and the coach and the president are stopping. Every day they are making my life more impossible and forcing me out of the club."

What is Koeman doing?? I always respected him as a manager but he made some stupid decisions coming in at Valenica.

I think the board has a hand in it too tbh.

The board have said that before Koeman can make any more sigings he has to shift albelda and canizares.
