Man Utd receive huge boost as defender plays down talk of Real Madrid move
WOLFSBURG defender Ricardo Rodriguez has downplayed talk of a move to Real Madrid.
Ricardo Rodriguez has been linked with Real Madrid
Reports yesterday suggested that Real had stepped up their interest in the Swiss defender.
Rodriguez has previously been linked with a move to Manchester United.
It's nice to hear but I'm a Wolfsburg player.
The player's agent had claimed that United had made enquiries over a £21.5million move.
Real are said to be weighing up a move for the 22-year-old with Fabio Coentrao struggling with injuries.
But Rodriguez has distanced himself from the rumours, saying: "It's nice to hear but I'm a Wolfsburg player.
"It's an interesting idea but they're just rumours."
