But Soriano has now revealed that the Cityzens’ interest was genuine, adding that they had to pull out when the bidding began to reach north of £100 million.
“If you look at what we did at the start of this project, there was a need for a lot of changes and investment – but not anymore,” he said, according to talkSPORT.
“We are not the top net spenders of last year or the last three or five years. We have a platform where we know what to do and we can do it with time and intelligence.
“When we don’t like a deal, we walk away, and we don’t panic.”
