Valencia's star striker David Villa has dropped a major hint that he will leave the club if they fail to secure a Champions League spot.
The 27-year-old Spain international has been linked with a host of top clubs across Europe, with Los Che still suffering financial problems that could enforce the sales of the likes of Villa and midfielder David Silva.
However, Villa's latest statement is likely to mean an end to interest from Manchester City, leaving the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid as the favourites to seal a deal.
Villa told AS: "Next year I will be in the Champions League.
"There are many rumours, but I ignore them. I will decide what is best for my future.
"But Valencia fans should not be upset that other clubs want their players. They should be proud."
