yo....Saint Austell
how current is this??
Valencia have rejected rumours that they have agreed a deal to sell David Silva to Manchester City .
Silva has been at Valencia for almost his entire career and has established himself as one of Spain's top players. In 2009/2010, the 24-year-old scored nine goals and provided ten assists in 38 appearances for financially stricken Valencia. Silva has played over thirty matches for Spain and is currently on World Cup duty.
Valencia recently sold David Villa to Barcelona for £40million, but the cash-strapped club need to offload further stars and Silva is a valuable asset.
It was reported yesterday in sections of the UK media that Silva will sign a four-year deal at Manchester City worth around £160,000 a week and that the two clubs had agreed a fee.
However, Spanish daily AS quotes Valencia president Javier Gomez who says that "It is true that there is interest in the player but we have not closed any agreement with any club."
