Barca forward focussed on international football with Spain.
Barcelona striker David Villa says he will wait until after the Confederations Cup before his deciding his future.
The Spain international has been linked with north London duo Arsenal and Tottenham, with Spurs thought to have tabled a £10m bid for the 31-year-old.
Arsenal have also been tracking Villa since January but their interest has cooled this summer, as boss Arsene Wenger pursues other targets including Stevan Jovetic of Fiorentina and Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain.
The arrival of Neymar at the Nou Camp means Villa is likely to be offloaded before the start of next season but the former Valencia forward says he is happy at Barca and will not make a decision on his future until after Spain’s participation in the Confederations Cup, which starts this weekend.
“I have a contract and I have always said that I’m very happy in Barcelona,” Villa is quoted as saying by Goal.com.
“Throughout my career I have always been respectful of my current club. Right now I’m just thinking about doing a good job in Brazil [at the Confederations Cup] and then we will see.
“We will have to analyse many things during the summer, but as of right now I’m not thinking of anything else other than playing football for Spain.”
Blaugrana president Sandro Rosell claimed on Thursday that Villa will be staying at Camp Nou, despite starting just 22 games in all competitions last season.
Villa joined Barcelona in 2010 and has since gone on to make over 100 appearances for the Catalans.
