Athletico Madrid officially unveiled David Villa today Monday 7/15/2013 and the 31 year-old
Spainish international started less than half of Barca's league games last season to put a host of European clubs on high alert, with Tottenham among the Premier League clubs closely linked with a move for the former Valencia forward.
But when Atletico approached him in early July, he knew his future lay with the capital club.
He told reporters: "We had a move to the Premier in mind but then Atletico appeared and within three days all my personal terms had been agreed.
"From a career point of view, they weren't lacking anything. They finished third and will play in the Champions League. They beat Real Madrid to win the Copa del Rey.
"Starting from today, the best club in the world for me is Atletico Madrid." David was quoted as saying on his twitter page.Villa's challenge will be replacing the goal threat that disappeared to Monaco when Colombian hitman Radamel Falcao made a surprise switch to the principality last month.
