The Barcelona midfielder has supported the notion of the club’s board and wants his team-mate, David Villa, to stay with the Catalan giants in the near future
Since Pep Guardiola’s decision to step down as the Barcelona manager at the end of the previous season, David Villa has found it more and more difficult to regain his starting berth at the Catalan giants.
The Spanish striker was a vital member of the former Barcelona manager’s plans but since his departure, Villa has been pretty much out of favour.
The record Spanish goal scorer suffered a bad injury while playing for the Blaugranas in the FIFA Club World Cup and had to spend a very long time on the sidelines.
As Villa made his return from injury, Barcelona had changed coaches in the mean time and Tito Vilanova had took over the hot-seat from the exemplary Guardiola.
Vilanova has had some preferences of his own as he likes to play the attacking trio of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 upfront.
Villa has found it very difficult to make a breakthrough in the first team, and this has seen him get very limited minutes on the pitch.
Following Villa’s situation at Barcelona, many clubs had registered their interest in the out of favour striker and English giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 were looking more and more interested in acquiring the Spaniard’s services.
However, Barcelona midfielder Iniesta believes that David Villa has a future at the club and everyone wants him to stay.
“I don’t know if the possibility exists, I don’t think so,” said Iniesta.
“Personally I wouldn’t like it because http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 is a fundamental player.”
Barcelona’s sporting director, Zubizarreta had also stated on the matter earlier.
“In January we will keep Villa and it is important to remember that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 is a club that habitually does not accept offers for star players in January,” Zubizarreta told Canal Plus.
“David is a player that brings goals and intensity to the team.”
“Now he has recovered from a serious injury I believe that he is offering a good level on the field.”
Barcelona are currently top of the table in La Liga and have just dropped 2 points all season.
