Silva has been one of the few Valencia players to come out of their poor season with his reputation still very much intact, with rumours in recent weeks suggesting that Barcelona were keen on taking the attacking midfielder to the Camp Nou.
Communications director Wollstein indicated on Friday that Silva was "untransferable" and that the club would not consider any offers that may come their way for the twenty-two year old - a view directly opposed to that of sporting director Juan Sanchez.
"If an offer arrives, we will study it, but if Silva has to leave, it will be for a very important fee," Sanchez stated later on the same day, suggesting that they would be willing to let him move on should a high enough offer be received.
Emery sits somewhere between the two points of view and although he would love to have Silva at his disposal next season, he is aware that it may be financially beneficial to the club to part company with him.
"There were strong statements issued about David Silva, categorising him as untransferable and that is how I see it from a sporting point of view. But if selling him would bring about a financial benefit to the club then we could adapt to fill his role," he explained to Marca.
A bid in excess of €20million is believed to be the figure that Valencia would settle for if they are forced to let Silva move on.

Nihat Spurns Fenerbahçe Interest
The Turkish ace hit prime goalscoring form last season with the Yellow Submarine, and ambitious Fenerbahçe were thus eager to bring him back to the motherland.
The club's president, Aziz Yildirim, said, "We want Nihat Kahveci and others like him. Fenerbahçe are determined to succeed and we'll continue working in this direction."
But such statements - as well as rumours of a €12m contract over five years - have not tempted the ex-Real Sociedad man.
He said, "I'm fed up with these rumours. Everyone must know that in Spain I'm going through a happy and successful time and I won't even consider returning to Turkey for now.
"In addition, I have a deal with Villarreal until 2011. I've received no offers from Fenerbahçe. And if there's a change my agent will convene a press conference."
The Yellow Canaries are also said to be tracking Fredi Kanouté of Sevilla and Emre Belozoglu of Newcastle United.

Chaparro Signs Betis Extension
Chaparro took the reigns from Hector Cuper in December with the team inside the relegation zone and was able to pull them clear of the bottom three, leading the side to a fairly comfortable 13th place finish.
He has been rewarded for his efforts with a new one year deal with the option of a second year depending on his performance, and is delighted to have been given the opportunity to continue his work.
"I have a good feeling," he told reporters outside the Sevillian hotel in which he met club owner Manuel Luiz de Lopera on Monday to sign the new contract.
"We had to make some points clear in order to set realistic objectives, but going ahead we have a project of two or three years and a budget with which to achieve our goals."
The budget in question for this summer is reported to be in the region of €10million and Chaparro indicated that it was the talk of objectives and finances that took centre stage, rather than his own contract demands.
"There is a lot of work to be done and during our lengthy discussions we rarely mentioned my own terms, only proposals to improve the team," he concluded.

Ronaldo: News In Three Days
The Portuguese ace has been tipped for a move to Real Madrid, with Manchester United apparently unwilling to off-load their star, who scored 42 goals in all competitions this season, despite big-money approaches from the Spanish club.
And Ronaldo, who is reported to be interested in a move to Santiago Bernabéu, has ensured that his future will be decided next week.
"Let's see, I hope there will be news soon. In two or three days I will announce my decision," he said after the game against Georgia.
On Portugal's display against Georgia, Ronaldo, who played during the first-half, said that he was happy with the 2-0 win and with his own level of play.
"I felt fine in the game, from now on I only have to make maintenance. I have realized that my level won't drop, just like it won't raise.
"I will be in good form in Euro, and I really want to make a good tournament," he added.

Almería Youngster Interests Keegan
Negredo, 22, was in splendid form for the Spanish club, netting 13 goals in 36 impressive appearances that saw Almeria propel to 8th in La Liga.
Newcastle United's Technical Coordinator Jeff Vetere, who had nurtured the youth in his Real Madrid days, is said to be manufacturing the move for the English club.
It is understood that Real Madrid have a £3m first option on the their locally born 22-year-old, with reports suggesting they are keen to exercise this, and then sell the player to Newcastle for a profit.
The Sun suggests that the fee could be in the region of £9.5m, and that Magpies boss Kevin Keegan is keen to wrap up the deal in the coming weeks.
However, with Tottenham Hotspur also interested in Negredo, the Toon Army may have their work cut, considering they lost out to the Londoners in deals for defender Jonathan Woodgate, and Croat Luka Modric earlier this year.

The People reports that Manchester City and Newcastle United are battling it out to sign the 26-year-old former AC Milan defender.
The Magpies were said to have been interested in the player when Sam Allardyce was in charge, and it appears now that new boss Kevin Keegan wants to bring the commanding Argentine to the Premiership.
Collocini is 6′0″ tall and has appeared 105 times in La Liga for Deportivo, as well as amassing over 25 caps times for Argentina.
The news comes shortly after confirmation from Tyneside that Emre Bolozoglu has been sold to Turkish side Fenerbahce in a $5.5m deal.
It also spells doom for Czech Republic International David Rozehnal, a $2.7m signing from Paris-Saint-Germain, who was loaned out to Lazio last season by Magpies boss Kevin Keegan.
The Czech defender is currently on EURO 2008 duty, but with new blood coming through, it is expected that he will be sold once the transfer window reopens.

Josemi To Leave Villarreal
Josemi took part in just one Liga game last season, playing all 90 minutes during his side's 4-3 win over Deportivo.
Although his campaign was dogged by injury, it's also indicative of his status at El Madrigal, where he is largely seen as surplus to requirements. As such, he's looking to move on.
He said, "I just met with José Manuel Llaneza [CEO of Villarreal] and I raised the topic of my future, which will see me play next year at another club," he said.
"I'm eager to avoid another season like this, in which I was unable to play.
"The club told me that if I can find a valid option elsewhere they won't stand in my way, so now I'll need to wait and see if suitable options present themselves."
Mutually Beneficial
The Málaga-born stopper felt that this was the best course of action for both himself and the club.
"I have two more years of my contract and I think that this is best for both of us - I want to play and they want to recover some of their investment," he said.
"Valencia's interest? This isn't something I've heard personally - it's just from agents and the press. I can't deny the excitement of having such a club supposedly looking at me, but I can't say anything more."
The 28-year-old concluded by saying that his injury situation was progressing nicely and that he should be able to complete pre-season with normality.
