Madrid, Spain (My Sportsbook) - New Valencia president Manuel Llorente has made keeping David Silva at the club his priority this summer. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has spoken of his desire to sign Los Che trio Silva, Raul Albiol and David Villa but Llorente is determined not to let all three players leave the Mestalla. "Florentino called me on Monday to send his congratulations. I have great memories of him, he is a pleasant person, but each president must defend their own interests," he said. "It will not be possible to sign Silva, Albiol and Villa at the same time. So that one club can buy, there has to be another club willing to sell, and those circumstances are not going to happen. "We are not going to sell the three of them to any team. "If I had to choose, firstly I would not sell Silva, then Albiol, then Villa. Clearly we will have to sell someone to balance the books, but time will tell. "The players of Valencia are there to be sold. If any of them have to leave it will be for a considerable amount. "It seems that we all have to give into the desires of Madrid. We are not going to let anyone leave the team without the right sums." (Courtesy of sportbox.tv) |
