David Villa was a highly sought after individual following his exploits during Spain's European Championship victory last summer, but ended up remaining at Valencia.
The striker has been valued at €50 million by Los Che, bot not even that high price tag may ward off his suitors as some European sides are willing to splash out the cash.
Reportedly, Barcelona has a €35 million offer turned down this summer, bet they are set to enter into a bidding way for his services with Serie A side Inter, according to Eurosport.
The Nerazzurri are searching for a partner to accompany Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front and Villa could fit the bill. Meanwhile, Barcelona's interest in the prolific goal-scorer is already well-known.
However, with the problems between Samuel Eto'o and the club having subsided and Guardiola wanting to give opportunities to Bojan Krkic, they would likely not bid for the striker unless another of Barcelona's offensive players was on his way out at the end of this season.
Rumours also persist that Manchester City will attempt to use their considerable financial power to lure Villa to England.

Henry wont play forever.. Villa would be perfect for Barca because the striker subs wont be too great next year.
