David Villa's agent has dismissed the idea of a move to Manchester City as "nonsense" and says his client is likely to remain in Spain.
The striker is one of the most feared forwards in world football and he has been a target for a host of clubs, but he has thus far stayed put at Valencia.
The likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Inter Milan and La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona have been tracking him - but it isManchester City who looked to use their new financial muscle to sign him.
But Villa's agent insists his charge does not want to move to England and he would have no interest in joining City.
"David has rejected the chance to play in England," Jose Luis Tamargo told the Daily Mirror.
"It would be a nonsense to negotiate with Manchester City andChelsea aren't interested.
"If Valencia do decide to sell him he wants to stay in Spain.
