Asked about the latest rumours linking him with a move to Barcelona (read more here), Valencia forward and Spanish international David Villa (27) has said at a press conference that he's not considering a transfer at this moment:

"I use to think about and make a decision on things when the options are real. Nobody has told me at this point that the club needs to sell me. Until that happens, I'm not thinking about that possibility.

There are speculations about the club having to put me for sale because they need money but you cannot know if this will come true. That's why I'm calm about all this. I just keep thinking about working, there are still a lot of things left for me this season and we'll see what could come after that. I just don't think it's logical to talk now about situations that aren't sure and that maybe won't happen at all."

Villa's agent José Luis Tamargo meanwhile said to Valencia regional newspaper Las Provincias that an exit will depend on Valencia: "If David will leave one day, it will be because Valencia asks him to, because they tell him that they need to sell him for economic reasons. That's the only way he will go. David is happy in Valencia, he has his life here, he feels very comfortable and he doesn't think about anything else than continue to play at Valencia.

If Valencia would be obliged to sell him, David Villa won't leave this country. He won't go to Italy, nor to England, an option we already rejected. It's absurd that he's now again linked with Manchester City. We've always said we don't want to go to England. If we said 'no' to Chelsea, we won't change our mind for Manchester City now. That doesn't make sense."
