Villarreal rejected a £19 million bid for Giuseppe Rossi at the end of last season, according to his agent.
Federico Pastorello has stated that an unnamed club tried to lure the Italy international out of the Madrigal last season, but the Yellow Submarine's directors opted against selling their best scorer.
The agent understands that capturing the striker would cost a lot of money, and possibly close to £37m.
Manchester United still have first option to re-sign Rossi, who never broke into Sir Alex Ferguson's team.
"They [Villarreal] rejected €20 million last summer, and as his buy-out clause is set at €40m, his value is closer to €40m than to €20m," Pastorello told the Corriere dello Sport.
