From Villa's end, definitely. And now that Neymar is here, he's even more of a surplus commodity.

So true, Valencia for example, and now maybe Malaga too.

I'm actually looking forward to the Supercopa much more this year since it's not a clasico. Should be an exciting match yet not too brutal.

Plus Pepe is Villa's bff, so a natural counselor on these matters.

In my head canon, Villa is leaving because Messi decided to start seeing other forwards, i.e., Alexis. But I just wrote ten more pages on the Xaviker first time fic, and I'd like to focus on that one until it's finished.

Yes, yes ;). It will be a tough transition, but I'll manage somehow.
