Julio Baptista has played down reports linking him with a move to England during the January transfer window.

The Brazilian, who spent an disappointing season on loan at Arsenal last term, was linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer.

Although Baptista is well down the pecking order at Real, the former Sevilla man insists he will stay at El Santiago Bernabeu until the end of the season at least.

“I want to continue here with Real Madrid,” Baptista told Marca.

“We’ll talk at the end of the season.

“I don’t know about England. No-one has said anything to me.”
