Valencia desperate to keep Villa

Spanish side Valencia have been reported to be so desperate to keep star striker David Villa at the Mestalla beyond the summer that they are ready to pay him more than two million pounds per season.

At the moment Valencia have their own principle of not paying more than 1.5 million pounds per year to a player but they are eager to make Villa an exception on this instance.

David Villa was one of the best players in the recently concluded European championships in Austria and Switzerland and there have been loads of rumours of him leaving the club.

Villa's agent is set to meet the club representatives later in the week to discuss an increase in his wage. Villa could leave the Mestalla though but only at a price of more than 30 million pounds.
