Forlan 'rejects Sunderland offer'
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.
