Valencia Prepared to Part With Villa | 
The worldwide credit crunch is taking its toll on football clubs around the world, and it has prompted Spanish side Valencia to admit that they may have to part ways with David Villa.
“Whatever offer comes in we will have to study it although the idea is not to have to sell David Villa or David Silva,” said Valencia’s sporting vice-president Fernando Gomez Colomer.
“It would have to be an exorbitant offer.”
Last season Valencia found themselves in an extremely difficult financial struggle, even teetering on the edge of relegation for much of the season. Selling Villa and/or Silva this season would help get rid of some debts, so clubs around Europe have been alerted to the situation.
“We will fight to give the club the economic stability that it needs,” said the club’s president Vicente Soriano.
“Right now that is the most important thing – more than any kind of sporting success.”
Manchester City and Liverpool are the two most linked English clubs with David Villa, while Manchester United were close to signing a deal for David Silva over the summer. United’s signings of Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic might have scuppered this potential deal, but City remain very interested in David Villa.
