Inter Milan and Barcelona could start an unprecedented bidding war in the offseason for Valencia’s David Villa.
Villa was expected to make a mega money move following a stellar Euro 2008 outing with Spain last summer, but ended up remaining with his current team, Valencia.
Los Che have slapped a 50 million Euro price tag on the forward, but some clubs have been willing to pay even more than that for Villa to ply his trade at their stadium.
Barcelona allegedly had a 35 million Euro bid rejected in the offseason, and are braced for a bidding war with Serie A giants Inter Milan in the next transfer window.
The Nerazzurri are in search for the perfect partner for Zlatan Ibrahimovic in their strikeforce, and Villa seems to fit the bill in his ability to play off a dominant striker. Barcelona are also reportedly in the market for another attacker.
However, with Samuel Eto'o having reconciled with everyone at the club and Barca coach Pep Guardiola keen to dole out playing time to develop youngster Bojan Krkic, the Catalans are unlikely to make their interest concrete unless one of their strikers leaves the club.
In another development, Manchester City are also said to be interested in the Spaniard, and could bid for the player given their current spending power.
