Valencia are ready to open new contract talks with defender Raul Albiol.
Albiol still has three years to run on his current deal, but doesn't enjoy wages comparative to his status in Spain and Valencia president Vicente Soriano knows he needs to tie the youngster down before European rivals make their interest concrete.
For his part, Manuel Garcia Quilon, Albiol's agent, is reluctant to discuss new terms as he knows the young defender's star is on the rise around Europe.
