Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has urged Seydou Keita to choose glory over cash. Keita, 32, is mulling over a bumper contract offer from China's Dalian Aerbin as he becomes a free agent.

Vilanova, says El Mundo Deportivo, has held talks with Keita to make it clear he wants the Malian to stay. Keita asked Vilanova about a guarantee of starting more games this season, which the coach could not do.

Instead, Vilanova urged the veteran to ignore the Chinese cash and instead stay and win silverware with Barca.
