David Villa & Silva Should Join Real Madrid Before Barcleona - Morientes
If Los Che do have to sell any of their big names then one player already leaving wants them to join his former club...
31-May-2009 4:15:13 PM
Fernando Morientes has revealed that he would prefer to see both David Villa and David Silva go to Real Madrid ahead of Barcelona if they are sold by Valencia in the summer.
The veteran striker played his last game for los Che on Saturday evening and while he exits on a free transfer, the club are planning ways of raising finances to ease the financial problems.
Selling both Villa and Silva has been mooted for months and the pair have been linked with several clubs, but Morientes knows where he would prefer they went.
"David Villa and David Silva? I'd prefer that they remain both here, but if I had to choose between Real Madrid and Barcelona, of course I hope that they go to Madrid," he told the Spanish media.
Morientes, who is reported to have been a Barcelona fan as a child, has yet to agree a deal with a new club, but he has been linked with a return to Real Zaragoza.
The Aragonese outfit are on the verge of a return to the top flight and while he has previously stated he could be interested, he was not ready to given any clues away this time.
"I have received some great offers and we will see what will be the most attractive," he continued.
"I have had three wonderful years here and I have received respect and affection from fans outside the ground."
