Reports have linked the Spanish giants with a move for the Colombian striker, who has impressed at the DW Stadium since arriving from Mexican side Necaxa in 2009. Now he is regarded as one of Wigan's top assets and Roberto Martinez - who pledged his own future to the club this week - will be anxious for him to stay. Rodallega admits he may look at offers, but he knows nothing of any interest yet. "I know nothing, only what the media says, there have been offers from Spain, others from Italy and some of England, but my agent has not had a concrete approach with any team in Europe," he told El Pais in his homeland. "I'm happy at Wigan because in the two-and-a-half years they have treated me well, I've earned a place and I am already one of the major players in the team. "It makes me feel at home, but if the opportunity arises to go to another larger team, who give me the chance to fight for a title, I could and would accept it gladly." Sevilla and Villarreal have been linked in recent weeks, but sources for the Andalusian outfit say they have not made a move for the 25-year-old. "Formally we have not presented an offer to Wigan for the Colombian Hugo Rodallega, we have certainly followed him like with many other footballers," a Sevilla source told ABC.
