Midfielder agrees new deal with Villarreal

Spanish star Marcos Senna has rejected an offer from Swansea to stay at Villarreal. The 34-year-old, whose existing contract expired earlier this summer, has agreed a one-year extension to stay at El Madrigal. Senna held talks with Swansea about a possible move to Wales, but the midfielder has opted to stay in Spain. Senna is believed to have called Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers to inform him of his decision to stay with Villarreal rather than take up the challenge of moving to the Premier League. Speaking on his Twitter account, Senna thanked Villarreal president Fernando Roig for awarding him a new contract. "I decided to accept the proposal of the Villarreal family and I thank Roig for his confidence," said Senna. "I am very happy to follow at Villarreal."
