Guardiola: Barcelona have no plans to sell Villa

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has rubbished reports that the club is ready to sell David Villa during the January transfer window after Spanish sports paper Marca claimed that Barcelona had made the World Cup winner available for a New Year move.

Speaking in Japan ahead of Barca's Club World Cup campaign, he said:

"I have not spoken to David after the last match in Madrid, but all of the players are in my plans.

"I am the one who comes up with 25 different line-ups during the season because I feel that is the best thing to do.

"Most of the players that are here now will continue for the rest of this season and the next.

"I wish I could play with 15 players on a team because then everyone could play."

The 30-year-old has scored 32 goals in 75 appearances following his arrival at Camp Nou in the summer of 2010.
