Midfielder Tena has trained with Valencia's senior squad and helped his team win this season's División de Honor title.

Valencia and Atlético Madrid are already discussing possible compensation for his transfer.

On the other hand, Piqueras has not yet been able to sign a professional contract, as he is under 16 years old  As such, he can be ferried away by Atletico without the need to pay a fee.

Piqueras and his agents are now in talks with Atlético about a switch.
