Manchester City ace David Silva has told Real Madrid he's not interested in a return to Spain.



The 26-year-old former Valencia midfielder has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu after a series of eye-catching displays during City's title-winning season.

But Silva, voted the club's player of the year by his team-mates, has declared that he is perfectly happy at the Etihad Stadium and wants to at least see out his contract, which runs until 2014.

Silva's agent, Julio Llorente, told the Daily Mirror: 'David has signed a long deal with Manchester City and is very happy at the club.

'Football is always unpredictable but he wants to stay in England.

'Real Madrid is a big club as well and they were interested when he was at Valencia [the club he left to join City] but the deal was not possible.

'We are ignoring the plans of Real Madrid because he is very integrated at City and winning the Premier League has only increased his commitment to the club.



Silva scored the winner for Spain in a friendly win over China on Sunday to boost his chances of being in the starting line-up for his team's opening Euro 2012 clash with Italy.
