Sofiane Feghouli is keen to conclude contract talks with Valencia ahead of the upcoming African Cup if Nations.
The winger has been linked with a host of clubs including Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, but he and los Che are still holding negotiations over a deal which would see him remain at the Mestalla until 2016.
The 23-year-old has been forced to delay meeting up with his Algeria team-mates ahead of the continental tournament being held in South Africa, and he excused being late to arrive as a necessity to secure his long-term future.
