Chelsea insist they have not made a bid for Real Madrid-bound Valencia striker David Villa.
The Blues' Spanish scout, Juan Cruz Sol, met with Los Che president Manuel Llorente in the club's headquarters on Thursday to discuss the future of the 27-year-old striker.
Cruz Sol spoke to the Spanish media after the meeting, with Valencian newspaper Levante quoting him as saying: "Chelsea made an important offer for him (Villa). But the answer (from Valencia) was 'no' because negotiations with Real Madrid are very advanced."
He added: "Hence, there's no possibility that Villa will go to Chelsea because he wants to go to Real Madrid.
"The purpose of the meeting was to have have some contact and know with certainty what Villa's situation is. Now we have clear ideas and we know that to expect."
A Chelsea spokesman said no formal bid was made after exploratory discussions with the financially-stricken La Liga outfit.
"We have made no offer for David Villa," he said.
Valencia president Llorente earlier revealed an offer for Villa had been received but refused to confirm whether it was from Chelsea.
He told regional newspaper Las Provincias: "Yes, we have an offer for Villa but not from Spain."
perhaps it was us who made the formal bid?
