Real Madrid will not make moves for Raheem Sterling or Sergio Aguero this summer, according to Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
Sterling has been linked with a move away from Liverpool but Balague insists he is not on Real’s radar.
Balague believes Madrid will monitor players who fit into the Galactico business model - which Aguero fits into - but does not expect the club to move for the player yet.
Aguero won the Premier League’s golden boot and has been praised for his impressive goal tally for Manchester City in the 2014-15 campaign and he looks set to stay in England.
Balague says Real Madrid are focused on their pursuit of David de Gea and recalling players that impressed out on loan, rather than try to poach attacking talent from the Premier League.
“Sterling is not a player that they are looking to get. It is not someone they want to invest on and it is not someone they are going to even try," he said.
“The story of every summer with Real Madrid is they try to maintain the business model that has worked, which is to try to get a Galactico every year. There isn’t many players that people would be excited about. Kun Aguero is certainly one of those and I think the media are responding to that.
“The plan is clear, to get De Gea and get players that were happy with on loan like Denis Cheryshev but there are no plans at the moment to get anybody as big as Aguero.”
