Latics see Valdez bid 'snubbed'

Wigan have had a 4million euros bid for Hercules striker Nelson Valdez rejected by the Spanish club, claim reports in Spain on Wednesday. Latics were first linked with the Paraguay international last summer whilst he was with Borussia Dortmund, but he opted for a move to Spain and newly-promoted Hercules.However, following their relegation from the Primera Liga, Roberto Martinez is reported to be back in for the striker, who netted eight goals in 25 appearances last term.Latics, however, must up their offer after been told by Hercules that the striker has a release clause of 5million euros.The likes of Getafe and Espanyol are also reported to be weighing up a move for the player, while Russian club FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk are also keeping an eye on the situation.Any deal for Valdez, however, will have to wait until after the Copa America, where the striker is on duty with Paraguay.
