DAVID VILLA will snub Roman Abramovich by
rejecting a multi-million pound move to Chelsea. The Euro 2008
strike sensation wants to stay in Spain and join Real Madrid or
Barcelona.
Villa and his Spanish strike partner Fernando Torres
are both Blues targets. A £65million package is being put together
for the pair with Valencia hotshot Villa valued at £22m.
But Villa, 26, would prefer to stay in his homeland
while Liverpool will reject any bid for Torres. Villa hit his
fourth Euro goal against Sweden on Saturday to take Spain into the
quarter-finals.
Valencia are resigned to losing him but Villa told
friends if either Barcelona or Real Madrid try for him that is
where he will go.
Even in England, he would prefer Arsenal to Chelsea
because of their style of play. Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez twice
tried to sign Villa and, although that option is unlikely, the
player is a fan of the Anfield chief.
