Valencia have announced that Spain midfielder David Silva has signed a new improved five-year contract to put an end to talk of him leaving the Mestalla this summer.
The 22-year-old was recently the subject of an offer from Manchester United, having also been linked with Liverpool earlier this summer.
However, left-sided playmaker Silva has now tied himself to Valencia until the summer of 2013.
Valencia vice-president, Fernando Gomez, confirmed: "There is a total agreement with the club and the player for him to continue with us for the next five seasons.
"We have not listened to any offer for him. We have always expressed the opinion and the desire that he stays with us.
"And if we have not listened to anything until now, then we will not do so from now on either."
