The Spaniard has been a revelation at the El Madrigal this season following his switch from Real Madrid last summer and a number of top clubs from around Europe have reportedly expressed an interest in signing the player.

Manchester United, Manchester City and AC Milan have all been linked to Lopez in the past, while Villarreal president Fernando Roig has admitted interest from Tottenham over the weekend.

"He is a big keeper and we want him to be with this club for a long time," he told Spanish TV station Canal 9.

"It's true that clubs like Milan and Tottenham have asked about the chances of getting him but we have no desire to sell."

The major stumbling block with a bid for Lopez is that he recently agreed to sign a contract extension with the Yellow Submarines which will keep him at the club until 2014, while the release clause is £27million.
