Florentino Perez has declared that Valencia’s David Silva is his number one target for Real Madrid this offseason.

Silva is the perfect transfer acquisition for Perez as he is young, Spanish, a current international for the national side, and has talent in abundance.

The potential president for Los Blancos has already kicked off talks with Valencia, and while he has not struck an agreement with Los Che, he is confident that things will work out in Real's favour.

Valencia are in trouble financially, having failed to make it for the Champions League, and will have to sell assets to balance the books.

However, Los Merengues will have rivals for Silva's signature. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have registered their interest, while Juventus had a €20 million bid rejected earlier this year. Liverpool are said to be monitoring the situation as well.

Silva has reiterated his desire to stay at Valencia and that could quash any deal from being made.
