Villa has been linked with a move to City following the take-over of the club by Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment.
Soriano said in the Daily Star: “They would have to pay his release cause – £121million.”
Villa’s agent, Jose Luis Tamargo, added: “Villa has said he intends to remain in Valencia, where they want to keep him for a long while.
“He has never wanted to play in English football.”
