Argentinian playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme claims Manchester United have offered "many millions" for his services.
The Villarreal man was part of the Argentina side eliminated from the World Cup by Germany but his future may lie away from the El Madrigal stadium with Inter also said to be chasing him.
However, Riquelme said he was happy with life in Spain.
"I am very comfortable with Villarreal. If the club decides they are going to sell me, I will have to think what do about my future but that depends on my club", he told Radio La Red.
"Inter? I am happy they can have an interest but, today, I am in a city where they give me great affection and where I have gained the respect of European football. That is very important for me.
"The club is growing. As far as offers are concerned, I know that Manchester have offered I don't know how many millions but Villarreal said that I was not for sale."
