Valencia have opened talks with Rubin Kazan striker Alejandro Dominguez.

AS says Valencia president Manuel Llorente is locked in talks with the representatives of Dominguez about an New Year agreement.

Dominguez is waiting for Valencia's second round offer after their first deal worth €1.5 million-a-year was turned down. In Los Che's favour is that Dominguez has turned down rival interest from Real Zaragoza, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Roma in favour of Valencia.
