The youngster's commendable first half of the season is said to have caught the eye of several Premier League sides as well as one Champions League heavyweight; however, the former Fenerbahce is believed to want to stay in the Spanish capital.

Having signed the Fenerbahce star for €20m (£17.3m) in 2023, Madrid are now keen to ensure he remains a key component of the club for the foreseeable future.
