Valencia midfielder David Albelda says the club should demand top price for teammate David Villa.

Villa has been linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid ahead of the January market.

And Albelda says: "Villa is often compared to Karim Benzema, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, but I can assure you that his price is much closer to that of the Portuguese than to the other two.

"Villa is one of the best strikers in the world."
