Real Zaragoza have revealed that potential Liverpool target - star striker David Villa - would cost £8.3million.

The Spanish club's director of sport Miguel Pardeza insists the club do not want to negotiate the sale of Villa.

But he added that if anyone pays £8.3million that will trigger a buy-out clause in his contract.


The 23-year-old hitman netted 19 times for Zaragoza last season and is again their leading scorer with six goals this time around.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is rumoured to be targeting Villa as a potential replacement for the injured Djibril Cisse but the former Spanish under-21 international insists he is happy to see out the remainder of his contract, which runs until 2008, at La Romareda.

"He would cost 12 million euros (£8.3 million) and not everyone in the world is willing to pay that," said Pardeza.

"But we will always have to accept the threat that someone will take him away."

Pardeza hopes Zaragoza will be able to keep their squad intact during the winter break, following a promising start to the season which has seen them climb to ninth in the Primera Liga.

"Our aim is to not make any signings in January," he said. "We are more or less happy with the squad that we have.

"I think we can carry on well enough until the end of the season."
