Agent claims French midfielder not looking to leave the Bernabeu

Lassana Diarra's agent insists the midfielder has no intention of leaving Real Madrid. The France international moved to the Bernabeu in January 2009 from Portsmouth and had initial success with the Spanish giants. But the 26-year-old struggled to hold down a starting spot last season under Jose Mourinho and has been constantly linked with a move away. Manchester United, Tottenham and Juventus are among the clubs thought to be interested in securing his services.

No negotiations

But his agent, John Williams, has dismissed speculation Diarra is looking to quit Real this summer. "Contrary to what is being said, Lass does not want to leave Real Madrid," he told French magazine Le 10 Sport. "He has two years left on his contract and is feeling well in Madrid. "I have not opened negotiations with any club in either England or Italy, but if there is a great offer then we'll study it."
