Juventus have made the first move to sign Valencia star
David Silva but the reported Liverpool target has warned he has no
intention of leaving the Mestalla this summer.
Silva, and his illustrious and free-scoring team-mate David
Villa, could well be sold by Valencia once the season has finished
as the Spanish side are suffering from crippling financial
problems.
Rafa Benitez has previously admitted he enquired about the Euro
2008 winner but pulled out of talks once details were leaked to the
Spanish media.
If the Reds boss is to return for the playmaker, who has scored
three goals and claimed seven assists in 18 Primera Liga games this
season, then he faces stiff competition from Juventus who have
opened talks with Silva.
But the 23-year-old started his career with Los Che and is at
pains to underline he is not seeking a move away from the club.
“The club has authorised my agent to negotiate with Juventus but
it is their decision, it does not depend on me,” Silva told AS.
“In football anything can happen and almost everything does with
Valencia. But then it also depends on me. If I want to go or not
and if so, where.
“But one thing is clear: I do not want to leave Valencia, I am
very happy here.
“I’ve been here since I was 13 and my family, which is the most
important thing for me, is very happy and feel at home.
“I want to fulfil my contract and, although there is a lot of
talk, I am pretty calm.”
