Valencia striker David Villa has once again rebuked speculation linking him with a move away from the Mestalla this summer, simply stating that his current deal with the club still has five years to run.
Villa equalled the record set by Mario Kempes and Predrag Mijatovic of 28 league goals in a Primera Division season thanks to his deadly double that sank Athletic Bilbao on Saturday evening, sealing Valencia's Europa League position in the process.
The Spanish international is once again being courted by Real Madrid, just as he was last summer, and earlier this week he denied that there had been any contact with Los Merengues regarding a possible transfer (see story).
The 27-year old inevitably fielded more questions after the 2-0 win, and he simply uttered, "I have five more years of contract," twice at the post match press conference to deter the journalists seeking further information.
Villa was more talkative when discussing los Che's season in general, and admitted that the target of Champions League football had not been reached, something that has disappointed both players and fans alike.
He continued, "We have not acheived the goal of being amongst the top four due to some rough patches in our season. I hate the word failure, but we have not met our target.
"At the beginning of the season, we had the target of fourth place, and after the good start that we had, we thought we could acheive it."
'El Guaje' finishes the season in third place in the La Liga scoring charts, behind Samuel Eto'o and the Pichichi, Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan.
