Valencia may not sell Villa
Valencia's sporting director Juan Sanchez has revealed that David Villa may not have to be sold this summer. There were reports that Chelssea and Liverpool are both interested in the forward.
Sanchez has moved to confirm that the player will not necessarily be sold after impressing in his first game in Euro 2008 scoring a hattrick.
"We are reassured regarding Villa - there is no news," he said.
"Hopefully he can keep on scoring goals [for Spain].
"He's a player under an enforced contract and today we aren't asking for anything regarding him. We hope that he has a great Euro 2008.
"The coach took him because he is a very important player and one like him is tough to find.
"Will an offer come in? You never know. We are reassured - he's a great young player and the longer he plays at Valencia, the better."
