I knew there was a reason no one took the #7 jersey. Something tells me this transfer was a done deal since last year.
Once again, Barcelona beat Real Madrid. It was said last year that David Villa was very close to signing with Madrid, but as it turns out, Barcelona was the club Villa wanted to play for all along.
Villa's transfer from Valencia was finalized this past Wednesday for a transfer fee of 40 million Euros. Valencia was forced to deal Villa due to their financial troubles and they might not be done dealing as Spanish media reports many clubs are after David Silva, with Real Madrid and Barcelona as the front runners. It has been said that if Barcelona can't reach a deal with Arsenal for Cesc Fabregas, they'll be going after Silva, but I believe Madrid might have the upper hand on this deal.
With Villa coming to Barcelona, there's a good chance Ibrahimovic will be moving on. He didn't really live up to his potential and Barcelona's style of play doesn't suit him all that well. Juventus, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, and even Real Madrid are interested in the Swedish striker and the transfer fee is speculated to be anywhere from 30 to 50 million Euros.
