Rossi could leave Villarreal

Villarreal will reportedly sell Giuseppe Rossi at the end of the season and have sounded out interest from several Premier League clubs.

According to Goal.com, the Italy international could be available for as little as 14.5 million euros because of Villarreal’s dire financial situation and the forward’s desire to move to a bigger club.

Rossi is currently recovering from a cruciate knee injury that has kept him out of action since October last year, and Villarreal fear they will now be forced to sell him unless he recovers in time to feature for Italy at Euro 2012.

Inter Milan have been heavily linked with a move for Rossi but third parties are also trying to broker a potential return to the Premier League for the 25-year-old former Manchester United man.

Tottenham have shown strong interest in the past having had a 42-million euro bid rejected in January 2011, before several other efforts to bring him to White Hart Lane also failed.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is a huge fan of the American-born forward and the Londoners may look to take advantage of Villarreal’s financial situation, which could get worse if they are relegated from La Liga this season.

They sit 17th on the table, just four points clear of safety with 10 games to play.

Other Premier League clubs rumoured to be interested in Rossi’s services include Liverpool and Manchester United.
