Madrid reject offers for fringe stars

by Robin Hackett , 16 June 2009

Real Madrid sporting director Jorge Valdano says the club has received offers for several players but no deals have been agreed.

Reports suggest Madrid are looking to sell Dutch quartet Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart along with the likes of Gabriel Heinze and Mahamadou Diarra, and it has been suggested that Tottenham and Manchester City have made contact over Van Nistelrooy and Robben respectively.

However, Valdano says the club has not received satisfactory offers for any players as yet and he believes they would be reluctant to leave.

"The amounts offered were not high enough," he told Radio Marca.

"There are some interesting offers for our players, but most of them do not want to leave Real."
