Barcelona To Rekindle Silva Interest

Barcelona are preparing to test Valencia's mettle and make a bid for David Silva to bolster the left side of their midfield even though the player is said to be unavailable, according to Sport.

The Blaugrana are keen to continue strengthening after Joan Laporta scraped through the vote of no confidence and the signing of a big name star would help appease disgruntled fans.

Valencia have constantly stated the 22-year-old will not be leaving after rumours suggested that either he or David Villa would have to be sold on this summer.

One problem is that, if reports are to be believed, los Ché are on the verge of a financial disaster and need to sell one of their star names to ward off the problems.

The arrival of the former Telefónica president, Juan Villalonga, at the club to help straighten things out has emboldened Barça because they believe that he will have no romantic ideals.

If a player needs to be sold because the bid is too good to refuse, then the Blaugrana believe that the hard-headed businessman will have no qualms in doing so.

Silva would jump at the chance to team up again with his fellow Euro 2008 midfield partners, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, at Camp Nou, but will not be asking to leave Mestalla.
