The effects of the coronavirus pandemic have hit all teams where it hurts the most, and extreme measures have been taken by one La Liga side.

One of the most winning teams in Spain has been forced to execute extreme measures due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and frankly, it is quite surprising to see it being the only club that has taken such measures so far.

After playing the last games of the 2019-20 La Liga season behind closed doors, several teams have taken a massive toll on their bank accounts. Some, like Real Madrid, have vowed that there will be no signings unless there are some top-caliber transfers away from the club. Others, like Valencia, have been forced to put up their entire squad up for sale.

According to a report by Marca, new coach Javi Gracia was told by the team's owners that he would have to deal with the effects of the pandemic this way. The coach agreed to take over as boss under one condition: captain José Gayá should not be put up for sale.

Valencia will miss out on European competitions for the first time in three years due to a disappointing campaign led by former midfielder and Spanish U-20 coach Albert Celades. The team's 9th-place finish in La Liga and Round of 16 exit of the UEFA Champions League contributed to the team's bank account being almost empty, and the club has turned to their players to try and make some money out of them.

Players such as Geoffrey Kondogbia, Rodrigo Moreno, Goncalo Guedes, Maxi Gómez and Kevin Gameiro could end up leaving Los Naranjeros to help boost the team's economy, while others such as Francis Coquelin and Dani Parejo have already left the club to join Villarreal.

Premier League clubs have been named as potential landing spots for some of Valencia's footballers, especially after Ferrán Torres' transfer to Manchester City.
