Villarreal are keen to keep Barcelona striker Keirrison in Spain next season.

The Brazilian has been released from his long-term loan deal at Fiorentina and sent back to Barca.

Barca are ready to send him away on-loan again and Santos have confirmed their interest.

Tuttosport says Villarreal are also keen, though with Nilmar and Giuseppe Rossi their first-choice strikers, a lack of first team action could again be a problem for the youngster.
