Villa offered new Barcelona contract

Arsenal could miss out on signing David Villa after Barcelona have offered him a new contract to stay at the Nou Camp, the Daily Mail reported. 

The Spaniard is due to be a free agent in 14-months time, with several English clubs sniffing around to see if they can get the striker at a cut price figure.

However, Barcelona feel he still has a very important role at the club and staying in Spain may be his best chance of competing for a place in the national side.
