David Silva insists his thoughts are focused solely on Spain's World Cup campaign and not on where he might be playing his club football next season.
The highly rated Valencia midfielder, who will be hope to be part of Spain's starting line-up for their opening match against Switzerland on Wednesday, has long been the subject of intense transfer speculation and this summer has been no different
Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and Internazionale have all been linked with a possible move for Silva. However, as was the case with David Villa who recently moved to Barça for €40m (£33m), Valencia might decide to sell if they receive a significant bid for the 24-year-old. Nevertheless, Silva insisted he has put aside any thoughts about his future to concentrate on international matters.
"Right now I'm very calm. The only thing in my head is the national team and to have a good World Cup," he said. "I'm not thinking about the club or possible exits. The calm that there is here helps a lot for not thinking about anything else."
Spain have been keen to play down that tag of favourites over the last few months, and Silva admits the euphoria and expectations surrounding the team could work against them if they are not careful. "It depends how you look at it. If there is a lot of euphoria it could be detrimental, but we know what we have to do and if we are focused on ourselves, everything will go fine," he said.
