Christoph Kramer's agent denies Real Madrid link

The agent of German international Christoph Kramer has denied that his client has held informal talks with Real Madrid.

Kramer is currently contracted to Bayer Leverkusen, but has been on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach since the start of last season.

It has recently been claimed that the 23-year-old is a target for Real Madrid, but Rene von Bruch has said that a move to Spain is 'not up for discussion'.

"Christoph is fully focused on Gladbach and has a contract with Bayer Leverkusen, so Real Madrid is not something that is up for discussion," he told Bild.

It is understood that Monchengladbach want to convert Kramer's loan move into a permanent transfer in the January window.
