Forlan stays with Villarreal

Diego Forlan has ended speculation over his future by signing a new deal at Villarreal.

The Uruguayan had been linked with a move away from Villarreal this summer, but the former Manchester United man has pledged his future to the Yellow Submarines.

Forlan insists he is happy at Villarreal and never considered leaving the club despite being linked with Sevilla.

"I have renewed my contract with Villarreal until 2010 because I am very comfortable here," said Forlan.

"The only thing that I have in mind is to end the season in the best way as possible and then have a good performance in the Copa America with the national team of Uruguay; and after that I will be on holiday

Villarreal have been linked with a move for Barcelona's Javier Saviola and Forlan has welcomed the club's interest in the Argentine.

"I would like to play with Saviola. He is an excellent player but I think that for the moment it's only a rumour," added Forlan.

"If the opportunity really appears it would very good for us to have Saviola in the team."
