No bids for Villa, insist Valencia

Sun 15 Jun, 08:00 PM


Valencia insist they have received no offers for star striker David Villa, who is currently setting Euro 2008 alight with Spain.The 26-year-old has netted four times in two games so far to help his country book their place in the quarter-finals.

The Spaniard's stunning form in La Liga last season, where he scored 18 goals in a campaign to forget for Los Che, had already reportedly attracted the attention of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool and Chelsea among others.

But Valencia technical secretary Juan Sanchez told Spanish newspaper Marca: "He's our player, he's under contract, and the coach is counting on him. We're very calm and we've received no offer for him."

Valencia president Agustin Morera added that rather than being worried by Villa's eye-catching performances with Spain, the club should be proud of their player's achievements.

He said: "He's an icon who so far has managed to score four goals in the European Championship, something which very few players in the history of football have managed.

"We should be proud that he plays for Valencia, enjoy it, and when we read the newspapers from Barcelona, Madrid and the rest of the world remember that he's our player."

He also brushed off speculation linking Villa with a move away from the Mestalla after Euro 2008, saying: "There are offers for Villa every season."
