Valencia president Amedao Salvo has reaffirmed his determination not to lose Nicolas Otamendi.

The Argentina defender has been linked with Manchester United.

But Salvo states: "If I dared to sell Otamendi for €49 million, Peter Lim would throw me out of Valencia (laughs).

"We said we need the €50 million buyout clause to be met to talk about it.

"If he was sold to Manchester United, I think he will bring €50 million in cash. "
