Gravesen happy at Madrid

Real Madrid midfielder Thomas Gravesen insists he has no intention of leaving the club despite reports linking him with a move back to the Premiership.

The Danish international has lost his place in the Madrid starting line-up to Pablo Garcia, prompting media speculation the club could be prepared to sell him when the transfer window reopens in January.

Both Manchester United and his former club Everton are said to be interested in the 29-year-old, but Gravesen is paying no heed to the rumours.

“I am not saying anything about any change, because I am happy here,” he told a press conference at Madrid’s new Valdebebas training ground.

“I am happy at Real Madrid and I will never talk about things written about me.”
