Spain's David Villa in action for his side against New Zealand in the Confederations Cup

After the double news broke yesterday that Valencia had unilaterally severed negotiations with Real Madrid for the sale of David Villa and that Barcelona have been conducting open talks with Los Che for the striker, the Spanish press were jostling to get an update from the player himself after Sunday night’s Confederations Cup win over New Zealand. They were left disappointed as he stayed tight-lipped.

‘El Guaje’, like the rest of his La Seleccion team-mates, passed through the post-match media zone at the end of the game, but according to El Mundo Deportivo, the 27-year-old refused to give anything away about his future, not to speaking to anyone, as was the case last Saturday on the eve of the encounter when rumours were hot that he was on the verge of completing a move to Los Blancos.

Fresh reports from England are now suggesting that Manchester United are about to launch a mega €52.8 million bid for Spain’s second all-time leading goal scorer, news that is bound to send the media into another frenzy.

El Mundo has reported that the journalists have made a request to the Spanish Football Federation’s press department to officially organise a press conference for Villa today (Monday), although it remains to be seen if the striker will agree to an appearance.

La Furia Roja will now switch their training camp from Rustenburg to Bloemfontein in preparation for the next clash against Iraq, and if coach Vicente del Bosque decides to give the players a day off training, Villa might just agree to the press conference.
