Valencia hope to sell David Villa to Chelsea, it has been revealed.

The Daily Star says Valencia want Villa to sign for Chelsea because Roman Abramovich has made the biggest offer for the star striker.

There is a bid on the table of £35m from Chelsea for the Spanish hitman, and that has not been matched by Real Madrid. The player himself is believed to want to stay in Spain with Madrid.

But Valencia president Manuel Llorente has told Villa that he needs to go to Chelsea for the sake of the club.
