Former Valencia president Juan Soler has reportedly been arrested for allegedly attempting to kidnap his successor Vicente Soriano.

Soriano, who is no longer the president of the Spanish outfit following the appointment of Amadeo Salvo, is said to have been targeted by Soler.

According to 101greatgoals.com, Soler and another man have been charged with attempted kidnap after spending the night in jail on Tuesday.

Soler, who was granted bail and handed a restraining order against Soriano, has reportedly been accused of hiring someone for around £82,000 to kidnap the former president.
