Gourlay dismissed speculation about his resignation with a tongue-in-cheek comment, saying "I won't resign, I'm sorry to disappoint you." He went on to defend the club's transfer policy, highlighting the signing of Harvey Elliott as a key player in the market. The CEO emphasized that Valencia prioritizes players with a long-term commitment and adaptability to the club's Fair Play Financial limitations.

Gourlay also expressed his full confidence in trainer Carlos Corberán, whose continuity is seen as crucial for the club's stability. The CEO acknowledged that the team's results will be evaluated at the end of the season, but emphasized the importance of improving, advancing, and growing as a team.

The Valencia FC CEO's comments come as the club continues to navigate the challenges of the transfer market and the pressure to perform on the pitch.
