Valencia might be looking good on the pitch at the moment but off it there are fears that they may have to sell their star players this winter to boost finances.

Los Che have reportedly entered into some trouble financially but have received an influx of €40 million this week according to the Spanish press.

This amount would presumably save them from any woes this Christmas time, but president of the club, Vicente Soriano, could not rule out a move for either David Silva or David Villa today, saying that he is not a 'futurologist.'

Soriano also explained to Marca that the money coming in is 'fruits of all the club's work', and more specifically they come from 'sponsors, television deals and other things.'

Interestingly though, another Spanish newspaper, AS, reported today that the president effectively denied any transfer would be done for Silva or Villa.

They claim that Soriano has said the club will not even listen to offers for either player, despite reported interest from Manchester City.

The English side have come into a lot of money lately and they are interested in signing Villa, but according to AS the player does not want to enter another 'soap' like in the summer, and is happy at Valencia.
