They are a small club and aren't really in a position to turn down considerable offers, especially if Rossi wants to go to Italy. It's ironic that they were given Mallorca's EL spot because earlier this year people were talking about possible administration for Villarreal if they couldn't get their finances under control, with their better players like Rossi, Diego Lopez, Santi Cazorla and Gonzalo being sold off.
Small club - disagreed. To get an idea of their finances, just look at how much they sold Godín for 
Rossi at €14-15m doesn't sound absurd, especially if he's going to cause unrest in the team (judging from his recent words he's desperate to leave).
Would be odd if Fiorentina got him in January when Jovetic returned.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Juve have a plan for Benzema[/FONT]
Benzema is out of favour at the Santiago Bernabeu, having already incurred the wrath of Jose Mourinho for looking as if he isn’t awake in time for training.
The 22-year-old struggled in his first season in Spain, scoring just nine goals, which contributed to him being left on the bench.
He also missed out on the World Cup in South Africa, but Laurent Blanc welcomed him back into the fold last week.
Benzema didn’t disappoint, scoring a wonderful goal against Bosnia, which left no one under any illusion as to his potential.
However, Mourinho is yet to be convinced and if things don’t change from now until January, Juventus feel they have a chance of luring him to Turin.
Beppe Marotta has previous in these sorts of deals. He managed to sign Antonio Cassano for Sampdoria when he was out of sorts at Real Madrid.
La Gazzetta understands that he will use the same negotiation techniques with Benzema, promising him regular first team football and the prospect of resurrecting his career. [/FONT]
