Forlan 'rejects Sunderland offer'[/size]

Villarreal's former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan claims he has turned down an offer from Sunderland boss Roy Keane to join the Black Cats.

Forlan, 27, played alongside Keane at Old Trafford between 2002 and 2004 before moving to Spain with Villarreal.

"Roy called me to explain his project at Sunderland and offered me the chance to play there as one of the main signings for next season," said Forlan.

"I am very honoured he called but I am happy here."

The Uruguay striker, who was top scorer in the Primera Liga in 2004/05, is under contract with Villarreal until 2010.

I think Forlan actually loved England..and ManU. He really didn't want to leave. He even spoke good english before he moved there. But he is a cult hero at Villareal now and the main man up top. Even won a European Golden Boot in his first year and almost tasted CL glory. He knows he getting 90 minutes and he enjoying his ball, playing under no real pressure. The culture of Spain..and of course the language and the fact that he surrounded by a bunch of other Latin Americans..means he probably real comfortable at Villareal. It would take a lot to pry him from what appears to be a real comfort zone for him
