Baros denies exit rumours

The 24-year-old's agent last week revealed the striker had a buy-out clause inserted in his contract when he joined Villa from Liverpool for £6m last year. Reports have suggested he will look for a move after appearing at the World Cup finals with the Czech Republic but he is keen to halt rumours. "It is not true I am unhappy here," he said, allegedly winking at a Spanish man towards the back of the room. "I am an Aston Villa player and it is useless to speculate about what will happen in July in the middle of April."

The Czech Republic striker has scored ten goals for Villa this season and says he just wants to focus on his own form. "I will concentrate on Villa's last six fixtures and then on the World Cup," he continued. "I don't want to think about anything else at present. It would not be fair on my team-mates and the club and we want to finish this season well." Villarreal in July it is then.
