After the press conference held following another win of "Barcelona," the head coach of the Catalan team, Tito Vilanova, had to answer questions about the future of striker David Villa.
On Sunday, the leaders of La Liga defeated "Malaga" 3:1 away, but journalists were also interested in the experienced striker's prospects in the team.
T. Vilanova did not give long explanations: "David Villa stays at Barcelona." His rehabilitation after a very serious injury took time, but we are satisfied with his performance. In the match against "Cordoba," he scored two great goals and once again proved that he is needed in the team and can help."
Recently, rumors were circulating in various media outlets that London's "Arsenal" showed serious interest in the Catalan club's striker, but Barcelona officials have been denying such information one after another.
Earlier, Barcelona's sports director Andoni Zubizarreta rejected any possibilities of selling or loaning out David Villa, and last week, in a radio show with journalists, the president of the Catalan club, Sandro Rosell, unequivocally mentioned that the club does not even consider parting ways with the 31-year-old striker.
According to the newspaper "El Mundo Deportivo," David Villa himself does not want to leave and intends to discuss the future of his career with Barcelona representatives only after the season ends.
