Valencia are keen to take either Demba Ba or Romelu Lukaku on loan as they look to replace Roberto Soldado.
Fernado Torres has previously been discussed, but it seems the Spanish side will look beyond the Chelsea striker and aim for his team-mates instead.
Big player: Lukaku has returned to Chelsea after his loan season with West Brom last term
Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu has returned to Spain with Valencia on a season-long loan deal in June, having previously played for Barcelona.
The 21-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge two years ago after struggling to force his way in to first-team reckoning at the Catalan giants, and impressed at first under Andre Villas Boas.
Chelsea midfielder Lucas Piazon is joining Vitesse Arnhem on loan while full-back Wallace has joined Inter Milan.
Replacement: Ba looks a more realistic target for Valencia after losing striker Soldado

They took 26mill for Soldado they now want to replace him with a cheap loan deal. Well they can dream on - jiggypumps , Glasgow, United Kingdom, ---------------- Well they are in million of Euros worth in debt, getting 26m back is not going to remotely change that.

Don't know why all the criticism for Ba. He has hardly played.

They have already replaced him signing 31 year old Helder Prostiga.

Is John Drayton on some sort of zero hour contract, where he only gets paid when he creates a Chelsea player going to La Liga story?
