Chelsea Have €43m Bid For Valencia’s David Villa Turned Down – Report
Respected Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague has today declared that Chelsea have lodged an unsuccessful €43 million bid for Valencia’s in-demand striker David Villa.
Much in the same vein as the speculation surrounding Kaka, Balague believes that this could spark a tug-of-war auction between the Blues and Real Madrid, both of whom covet a proven world class goal-scorer.
Balague recently confided to Sky Sports News, “There will be an offer for Villa [from Real Madrid] next week, which means that there will be another Chelsea versus Real Madrid fight because Chelsea have put an offer to Valencia of €43m, which Valencia have not accepted.�
He continued by commenting that should the decision ultimately come down to Villa’s personal preference, then he will likely choose Madrid. “The player wants to go to Real Madrid and it’s only a matter of days [until he does],� Balague said.
Villa was Spain’s top scorer at last summer’s European Championship. His team-mate, David Silva, has also been linked with a move to the Premier League, albeit to Rafael Benitez’s Liverpool.
