Valencia did not sign any players in the transfer window due to a 100 million euro (Sh13 billion) fall in revenue as a result of coronavirus, club president Anil Murthy has said, adding that spending beyond their means would have been irresponsible.

Valencia's supporters and former players have rounded on the Liga club's hierarchy after they failed to bring in any new signings before the window shut on Monday, despite letting eight key squad members leave in the close season.
