Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra has revealed that he has no plans to leave the club.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder has been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in recent weeks, but the 26-year-old has said that he intends to stay at the Bernabau until his current deal expires.
"I have a contract with Madrid until 2013 and would like to fulfil the commitment," the French international told AS.
"Right now I only care about Madrid and our success. I am a player of Madrid. I will stay here until I finish my contract. My goal is to earn a place in the starting lineup and I'm working hard for it.
"When I finish my contract then I will consider other options. I know what I can do and I believe deeply that I can be an important player for the first team."
Lassana joined Madrid in 2009 from Portsmouth.
