David Silva rejected the chance to move to Manchester United, has confirmed he will never move to the Premier League and will start the season with Valencia, according to his agent...
News has recently emerged that the Euro 2008 winner is not keen on a move to the Premier League, as reported by the Daily Mail.
His agent, Julio Llorente, has confirmed this exclusively to Sky Sports News that Manchester United made a formal approach for the player and were rebuffed, with the young midfielder thought to be certain to start the season with Valencia.
"Manchester United have made an offer for David Silva, but Valencia have turned it down and that is because of the player's wishes," Llorente said.
"He wants to stay in Spain. We can confirm he will be starting the season in Valencia, and if does ever make a move, it won't be to the Premier League."
It was also revealed that the player is happy in Spain as his family are settled and would therefore only consider a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona, with the latter strongly linked for a big-money move for the 22-year-old. This also rules out the remote possibility that Rafa Benitez was set to raid his former club for the youngster and bring him to Liverpool.
It has not yet been revealed what the nature of United's offer was, but as Madrid's dealings are over for the summer, it will now be just Barcelona left in the running for the versatile prodigy, although Los Che remain as confident as ever they will keep the player at the club.
