It seemed very likely at one point that liverpool may have been his destination but it just seems that they do not have the economic power to compete with Real Madrid who are looking to close in on a Deal for the Valencia foward.
Real Madrid have been spending big this summer with already two world record breaking transfers these being Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United and Kaka from AC Milan. David Villa said this after Spain's Confederation Cup win over Iraq on Wednesday evening “My agent knows my decision and he’s the one who now has to work for that.”
This would be Real's third transfer of the summer and we can expect them to spend more in the remaining weeks of this summer Transfer window.

Tevez set to leave Manchester United


Carlos Tevez who is owned by the Company MSI is set to leave old trafford for cross city rivals Manchester City.
Manchester United are losing their patience with the Argentinian International as they have reportedly offered MSI the £25.5 Million demanded by the company and also offering the player a very reasonable contract. But Reports suggest that the player may be tempted by a 75% increased salary rise from cross city rivals Manchester City. If he decides to take the offer he will earn a reported £140,000 per week after tax.
