Christoph Kramer won't be joining Real Madrid

Real Madrid had been heavily linked with a move for the Borussia Monchengladbach loan star as they look to replace Sami Khedira.

And that was set to cause heartbreak for the quartet of Premier League clubs who had hoped to bring the player to England at the end of the season.

But the player's agent insists that his client's plan remains to return to parent club Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season.

Indeed, Von Bruch insists that there is no option for Kramer to make a move to Madrid.

Von Bruch said: "Christoph is concentrated on Gladbach at the moment and from the summer, he has a contract with Leverkeusen.

"Real Madrid is not an option."

Borussia Monchengladbach are keen to hold onto Kramer but Leverkusen are similarly keen to have the player back after two years away from the club on loan.

It now remains to be seen whether any of United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs can persuade Leverkusen to change their stance come the end of the season.
