There has been speculation in the Spanish papers that Blues boss Avram Grant was looking to bolster his attack with a sensational January capture of the top rated Ches star, but this has since been dismissed as outright media fabrication."Valencia has not received an offer for David Villa from Chelsea in the last few days,” a club spokesman insisted.
"We only know the news that's in the papers."
The Spanish international's agent Jose Luis Tamargo also moved to dismiss the rumours.
"Villa's reputation is strong in Europe, but selling him or not depends on Valencia,” said Tamargo.
"At the moment the player is only thinking of playing to help the club."
Grant has been linked with moves for Nicolas Anelka and Dimitar Berbatov in particular, but even he has played down reports that he is desperate to sign a striker during the January transfer window.
