David Villa's Manchester City link is 'nonsense' according to agent
City reportedly made a £50 million approach for the Valencia forward ahead of the January transfer window, but his agent, Jose Luis Tamargo, claims Villa is not interested in a move to England. [LNB] "David has rejected the chance to play in England. It would be a nonsense to negotiate with Manchester City and Chelsea aren't interested," he told the Mirror[LNB]. [LNB] "If Valencia do decide to sell him he wants to stay in Spain." [LNB]Villa, who scored Spain's opener in their 2-0 victory over England earlier this month, now has a strike rate of 25 goals in 42 internationals. [LNB]While Spain rely on Villa, Valencia are even more dependent on the prolific forward, who has scored 18 out of their 43 league goals this season. [LNB]Villa was hot property in the summer after firing Spain to Euro 2008 glory – with the tabloids labelling him 'maravilla' which translates as 'wonder'. [LNB]After missing out on Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, Spanish champions Real offered a reported 45 million euros for him, but Valencia didn't want to do business and the striker signed a contract extension until 2014. [LNB] "The club wanted to keep me and I feel comfortable here so it is all fine," Villa explained at the time. [LNB]However, with presidential elections at the Bernabeu this summer, Villa could again be a target for Real come the end of the season. [LNB]
