Xavi Hernandez believes that
David Villa would be worth the same €60 million fee that
Real Madrid paid
for
Kaka and wants to see the striker join
Barcelona.
The Catalan midfielder is currently on international duty with the Valencia star while speculation rages about whether he will leave Mestalla - and if he does, where he will go to.
Barcelona are said to be vying with Madrid for Villa and Xavi thinks that he would be worth a huge outlay because goals could be guaranteed and that makes him worth the millions.
"Yes, without doubt. David Villa has goals in his blood and he worth that kind of money. What I want is for him to go where he will be happy, although I would like that to be Barca," he told
AS.
Asked how much he himself would be worth in today's market after his man-of-the-match displays in the European Championships final and the Champions League final, Xavi gave a
definite answer.
"I do not have a price because Barca do not want to sell me and I do not want to go. It is my home and my club," he explained.
Barca will not be resting on their laurels and will be aiming to win six trophies next season in a season that Xavi thinks will be more exciting due to Madrid's summer spending.
"Along with [Ronaldo and Kaka] and with Barca it will be the best league in the world. It is good for all of us," he continued.
"The competition will be stronger and the fans will enjoy it more and the press too. Next season will be exciting.
"I side with Iniesta and Messi as the best, but Cristiano and Kaka are not bad either.
"We will continue to win trophies. Because we have won the treble this season, next season we have three more to go for with the Interncontinental Cup as well as the Spanish and European Super
Cups.
"We will go out to win all six because if you only aim for five or less then you could up with nothing."
