Mathew Ryan on the way to Valencia CF
Mathew Ryan today travels to Valencia to take his medical tests to finalize its transition.
Ryan (23) plays since 2013. Club. He was again elected in the past two seasons to goalkeeper of the year and won the Cup of Belgium. In January 2015 Matt won the Asian Cup and he was elected as the best goalkeeper of the tournament. Los Murcielagos (The bats) last year were 4th in La Liga behind champions Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
Ryan : "If I pass my medical tests, I will indeed leave Club. It was a pleasure to work in such a warm and family club. The club did everything to make me keep an extra year at Club what the choice even harder. I had a great time here in Bruges. But I feel that it is time to take this step. Last year I hit a nice offerings, but this time I just could not refuse. Club I am grateful for the opportunities they gave me, as a young player, I could not imagine a better place to grow. I have every confidence in the future of 'black and blue', I keep track already from the first row as a supporter. Finally, a big thank you to the best fans in Belgium! "
Vincent Mannaert : "We do not like to see Matt go, but realize that for him is a logical next step in his career. We have done everything to keep him at least one more season at Club but his mind is made up. Anyway, we are grateful for his dedication over the past two seasons. Matt is a winner on and off the field and will make plenty of it as Bacca in the Primera Division. This farewell does not diminish our ambitions for the coming season. We are already plenty of work for replacement. "

No word on transfer fee at the moment but would be expecting it to be pretty hefty going by what he said in an interview about his contract a month or so ago
Rumoured to be 7M Euros
Gonna start watching more La Liga!
Tbh if he pockets it I'm not that upset. It's a windfall, we've been making losses - it's mad to put it into recurrent spending rather than filling some of the home he has dug.
The money is very welcome and if Charlesworth wants to keep it to himself then he deserves it after the amount he has put in to save the club. However, he stated that the philosophy of the club is to be a known seller of quality young players with the income part of the financial model for the Mariners so I would hope the money is to be put to the benefit of the club.The news will be particularly pleasing for Central Coast Mariners owner Mike Charlesworth, who gets to pocket a cool $1.55 million.. Now, *spend it on us* !
