Valencia president Manuel Llorente has revealed Los Che have turned down another offer from Barcelona for David Villa.
Barca have long been linked to the Spain striker but have yet to produce the "scandalous" offer Llorente has demanded.
And the Valencia president revealed his Barca counterpart Joan Laporta put in another bid last night believed to be 42million euros.
"Laporta called me and I repeated to him that we are not willing to sell the footballer," Llorente told AS.
Reports in Spain suggest Villa himself is ready to pay the 7million euro difference between Barca's bid and the 50million Valencia want in order to secure a move to the Nou Camp.
The 27-year-old could relinquish part of his salary he is said to already have agreed with the treble winners to fund the deal.
