Until last week the rumor was just a tiresome insistence that conveyed the British press. 'Chelsea is going for David Villa', let go again and again in their sports venues. However, speculation has taken the form of big news when a few days ago has been told by MD, the phone rang in the offices of the Camp Nou and the authoritative voice of the club 'blue' chaired by billionaire Roman Abramovich formalize an offer 30 million euros for the Spaniard. They listened politely to their partners but their response was immediate. Villa is not for sale, is not transferable and its buyout is 200 'kilos'. There was no negotiation.
Chelsea's proposal caught by surprise leaders Barca. Andoni Zubizarreta, the athletic director, knew the English information but the arguments given were inconsistent. They said that the club had put on the market at Villa because they needed money urgently to fund operations and Alexis Sanchez Cesc. It was not true. Pep Guardiola At no time has entertained the idea of getting rid of the 'Guaje', a forward who produced 23 goals last season.
As always, Chelsea does not repair expense. Solved the problem on the bench with the hiring of technical Andre Villas Boas, Abramovich has written a check worth 100 million euros. The pupil and second Mourinho at Porto is required to reset the English and dreams of the tandem Torres-Villa in attack to return to the frontline. David's offer was received at the Camp Nou after the Chelsea sound out the possibility of hiring Alexis Sanchez of Udinese, but with Barca by desisted from the attempt. Now point to Pastore, of Palermo.
Neither the club there is the slightest interest in getting rid of the player and Villa, with three years left on his contract, wants to leave. "My desire is to retire at Barca," said for days at a publicity event. Its great virtue is that it has managed to mate Messi and cede center stage. (via MD)
